Sharpest Ultima Thule
The New Horizons spacecraft swooped within 3,500 kilometers of the Kuiper Belt world Ultima Thule. This image, a mosaic of nine frames, was captured just minutes before its closest approach. The spacecraft achieved this feat of navigation 6.6 billion kilometers from Earth, giving us our sharpest view of this distant object.
