Ultima Thule by NASA / John Hopkins Uniersity APL

Horizons emerged today that begin to show the shape of this mysterious Kuiper Belt Object for the very first time. This is just a putative stereo adaptation from me – the Object MAY have the proportions suggested by this – but over the next few days the data will get better and better and we will know for sure !
