Ultima Thule from New Horizons
Ultima Thule, officially 2014 MU69, is the farthest asteroid ever visited by a spacecraft. NASA's New Horizons zoomed past it on January 1, capturing this high-resolution image. The 30-kilometer-long object in the Kuiper Belt looks different from asteroids in the inner Solar System, offering clues about the early Solar System.
