This year, we launched a mission to “touch” the Sun, stuck another nearly flawless
#MarsLanding, introduced@Commercial_Crew astronauts who will launch to space from American soil, tested supersonic flight with@NASAaero, and so much more! Watch: https://go.nasa.gov/2EEH2Lq pic.twitter.com/nkt0SzLoxi

#UltimaThule, now in stereo! The@NASANewHorizons science team created the first stereo image pair of Ultima Thule. This image can be viewed with stereo (3D) glasses to reveal the unique Kuiper Belt object's three-dimensional shape. http://bit.ly/ultima-thule2 pic.twitter.com/fvKvHMSMey

New day, new data! Brand-new findings from
@NASANewHorizons’ flyby of the most distant object ever explored –#UltimaThule:
No evidence of rings or satellites
No evidence of an atmosphere
The two lobes are nearly identical in color
More! Details http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20190103 …pic.twitter.com/yWtcvntMSJThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

Zoom with a view: Made from two images taken 38 minutes apart, here is
#UltimaThule! The "Thule" lobe is closest to the@NASANewHorizons spacecraft. As Ultima Thule is seen to rotate, hints of the topography can be perceived.@NASA http://bit.ly/ultima-thule2 pic.twitter.com/5S9zZ5d3EgThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
More science incoming! Yesterday we learned that
#UltimaThule is made of 2 separate objects that are now bound together. What will we learn today? Join@NASANewHorizons experts at 2pm ET for the latest science sent to Earth from ~1 billion miles past Pluto https://www.nasa.gov/live pic.twitter.com/kiDKU8bii2

On New Year’s Day,
@NASANewHorizons flew past#UltimaThule – the most distant object ever explored. While the flyby was quick, it'll take ~20 months to downlink the full data set from the spacecraft, which is more than ~4 billion miles from the Sun: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/ pic.twitter.com/jOvWOluSVH

It's been a big week for small objects in the solar system. A billion miles past Pluto,
@NASANewHorizons explored a small Kuiper Belt object for the first time, while closer to Earth,@OSIRISREx entered orbit around an asteroid. See details at http://solarsystem.nasa.gov pic.twitter.com/31uhSJABoA

#UltimaThule is the 1st primordial contact-binary ever explored up-close by a spacecraft. It is a pristine specimen, preserved as it was formed. Other similarly shaped objects have been modified over time due to their closer proximity to the Sun: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20190102 …pic.twitter.com/sQtTqwv1AQ

Sorry for the confusion!
#UltimaThule is not the first contact binary explored by a spacecraft –@esa’s Rosetta mission explored a comet of this shape. Ultima is however, the first contact binary in the Kuiper Belt ever explored up-close. Learn more: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20190102 …pic.twitter.com/a9FdnqBIVC

These pictures are the essence of exploration. It all starts with a question. Questions that have turned mystery into exploration and knowledge. Congratulations to the
@NASANewHorizons and@JHUAPL teams on the exploration of#UltimaThule! http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/ https://twitter.com/NASA/status/1080542930991865856 …

After flying by the most distant object ever explored,
@NASANewHorizons beamed back the 1st pictures & science data from#UltimaThule. This data is helping us understand how planets form — both those in our own solar system & those orbiting other stars: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20190102 …pic.twitter.com/CUaOK1LZBG

THIS is
#UltimaThule. The image taken by@NASANewHorizons - shown in its original version (left) & sharpened version (on right) - is the most detailed image of the farthest object ever explored by a spacecraft. http://bit.ly/ultima-thule1@NASApic.twitter.com/i7rDBURNrw

#UltimaThule used to be 2 separate objects. It likely formed over time as a rotating cloud of small, icy bodies started to combine. Eventually, 2 larger bodies remained & slowly spiraled closer until they touched, forming the bi-lobed object we see today: https://www.nasa.gov/live pic.twitter.com/FwWDAaAdey

It's official! I'm in orbit around
#asteroid Bennu -- now the smallest body ever orbited by a spacecraft. My snug path around the asteroid also sets a new record for the closest orbit of a planetary body by any spacecraft.#HappyNewYear, indeed! More
