EXACTLY 6 MONTHS FROM NOW-- New Horizons flies by Ultima Thule, on 1 Jan 2019! The most distant exploration of any object in history, and likely THE most alien thing ever explored. What will we find? #PlutoFlyby pic.twitter.com/Fgq7nVRyz8

Pluto and Charon in natural color! I updated the natural color images using our latest camera calibration, so this should be the closest thing to seeing Pluto with your own eyes that we have. https://t.co/FmWu21Jyqv pic.twitter.com/OAkmscPacs
