The Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 formerly known as Ultima-Thule is now known by the official name 486958 Arrokoth. In the Native American Powhatan language, Arrokoth means “sky”. This rocky object orbiting the Sun in the Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto was visited and photographed by the New Horizons spacecraft on January 1, 2019. The peanut shape is formed by two lobes (Ultima and Thule) that are joined by a bright narrow neck in a contact binary. It completes a full orbit of the Sun in 298 years at a distance of 4 billion miles from Earth.
