Asteroid or Potato?
Is this asteroid Arrokoth or a potato? This high-resolution image was constructed from data beamed back by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. Arrokoth is the most distant asteroid ever visited and a remnant from the early solar system. A potato, on the other hand, is a root vegetable. Happy April Fool's Day from the folks at Skyborn!
