What We Saw When NASA Sent A Probe To Explore The Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth In 2006, NASA launched New Horizons to explore Pluto. In 2019, it visited the furthest object in the Solar System we ...

Over the past decade, researchers have been puzzling through Pluto’s mysteries. Meanwhile, the New Horizons probe heads for interstellar space.

Astrum explores everything NASA's New Horizons saw and discovered in the Kuiper Belt around Pluto, Charon and Arrokoth (Ultima Thule).

Researchers found that Arrokoth has a distinctive reddish colour, which is linked to the presence of complex organic molecules.

Arrokoth is one of thousands of ‘icy worlds” in the Kuiper Belt, or the outer zone of the solar system that lies beyond Neptune. It is the farthest object in space that has been explored by a ...

Buckle up, space enthusiasts and curious minds! Today, we're embarking on a cosmic journey beyond Pluto, to uncover the secrets of Arrokoth.

The New Horizons mission currently flying through the Kuiper Belt could be facing an unexpected change of plans.

A new study from researchers at the Southwest Research Institute has unearthed a fascinating discovery about Arrokoth, a trans-Neptunian object made famous by the New Horizons probe in 2020.

Behold, Arrokoth Image: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute Following the Pluto flyby, mission scientists found another object for New Horizons to ...

Some asteroids are lumpier and less round because they've crashed into each other, Springmann said. The KBO Arrokoth, for example, is shaped like two pancakes stuck together.
