Description
The New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in July 2015, providing surprising images of Pluto and its moons. In January 2019, the spacecraft visited a brand-new object, 486958 Arrokoth (originally called Ultima Thule) in the Kuiper Belt giving a close-up view of this object. Len Duda shows images provided by the New Horizons spacecraft of these objects and others.
