Arrokoth

3 years ago by bluyonder to c/crossview

On Jan. 1, 2019, New Horizons made a high-speed flyby of Arrokoth, approaching as close as 2,198 miles (3,538 kilometers) of the object. During the encounter the spacecraft's cameras revealed a world not quite like any explored before. In a fitting tribute to the farthest flyby ever conducted by spacecraft, the Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 has been officially named Arrokoth, a Native American term meaning “sky” in the Powhatan/Algonquian language.

Here is another view that kind of emphasizes how flat it is.

A way to see 3D images without special screens or glasses. Just cross your eyes to overlap the two images.
