Ultima Thule, the most distant world

New images of Ultima Thule arrived in the most distant world that humanity has explored and continues to give us.

The first images that the space probe New Lions took last January's Ultima Thule showed a strange rocky body composed of two spherical parts, whose shape reminded a snowman and while we were right in stating that Ultima Thule is composed by two bodies or lobes, these have turned out to have no spherical shape, making comparisons, instead of being a snowman to the flattest of the lobes nicknamed Ultima, we could compare it with a giant pancake and the other Thule like a walnut.

We have never seen anything like it before, so if you see the hypothesis that there are two planetesimals that came together on the table, scientists from all over the world are creating models that better explain or complement this hypothesis because we really have no idea of ​​how He formed this disconcerting but fascinating world.
