NASA shares images of farthest object explored by spacecraft
NASA has shared images of the most distant object ever explored, captured by New Horizons spacecraft from around 27,000 kilometres away. The 31-km-long object is nicknamed Ultima Thule, where 'Ultima' and 'Thule' represent the object's large and small spheres respectively. The spheres joined as early as 99% of the way back to the formation of the solar system, NASA said.
