Carey Lisse speaking at AHSP 2019 on New Horizons at Pluto and MU69/Ultima Thule

The New Horizons spacecraft collected data on Kuiper Belt Object 2014MU69, nicknamed Ultima Thule, during a flyby encounter in December and January. In this talk, Steve discusses the efforts to find Ultima Thule, to characterize it prior to the encounter, the preparations for the encounter, and the data collected by the LORRI instrument. As a long-time amateur astronomer, being part of the exploration process for the most distant object visited by a spacecraft was one of the highlights of his career.

New Horizons: The Continuing Voyages with Professor Paul Delaney, Senior Lecturer, Allan I. Carswell Chair for the Public Understanding of Astronomy, York University. This talk was held on January 16, 2019 at the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Toronto Centre Speaker's Night held at the Ontario Science Centre. In 2006, the space probe New Horizons set sail for the most distant planned target intercept in history: the exploration of (Dwarf) Planet Pluto in July 2015. Pluto was revealed to be a destination of immense interest and contradictions heralding the amazing success of the New Horizon encounter. Because the space probe performed so well and was in such excellent health, the mission scientists had decided that if NASA concurred, the mission would continue with a target of the asteroid 2014MU69 on in the Kuiper Belt on January 1, 2019, which, too, is now history, revealing insights into yet another mysterious world. This talk summarises the exploits of New Horizon and will set the stage for the possibility of a new target within the Kuiper Belt.

In this video, we discuss how the Kuiper Belt Object Ultima Thule was discovered for the New Horizons flyby. To learn more about the Ultima Thule Flyby, click here: https://youtu.be/xB_Jj9uBVW8 We begin by discussing how various objects are observed here on Earth, and what factors come into play when discussing their brightness. Then, we look at the New Horizons mission plan, and see that astronomers were given a decade to discover objects that the spacecraft might be able to visit. After years of ground-based observations, they realized that they would need to utilize the Hubble Space Telescope to overcome some of the challenges of discovering this object. Thanks for watching!

Jubilant NASA scientists were celebrating this morning celebrating after confirmation their New Horizons has reached the solar system's outermost region, flying close to a space rock 20 miles long and billions of miles from Earth on a mission to gather clues about the creation of the solar system. The New Horizons probe was slated to reach the 'third zone' in the uncharted heart of the Kuiper Belt at 12:33 a.m. Eastern - but NASA did not receive confirmation it was a success until 10:31am this morning, leading to cheers and shouts in Mission Control. Alice Bowman, the New Horizons Mission Operations Manager, known as 'MOM' received the updates from mission engineers.  Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6544801/NASA-scientists-wait-confirmation-New-Horizons-completed-record-breaking-New-Years-Eve-flyby.html Original Video: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-1833174/Video-NASA-scientists-cheer-New-Horizons-approaches-Ultima-Thule.html Daily Mail Facebook: http://facebook.com/dailymail Daily Mail IG: http://instagram.com/dailymail Daily Mail Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Mail/8392137033 Daily Mail Twitter: http://twitter.com/MailOnline Daily Mail Pinterest: http://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail Daily Mail Google+: https://plus.google.com/+DailyMail Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: http://dailymail.co.uk/mobile

The New Horizons team shares the first image of Ultima Thule, as well as updates on spacecraft status and flyby success, from the Mission Operations Center at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab.

NASA explorer New Horizons has traveled four billion miles from Earth and sent back the first blurry picture (image main taken on the spacecraft's approach) of Ultima Thule, an ancient icy object in the Kuiper Belt. New Horizons (bottom left) passed Ultima at 12:33 a.m. this morning. Clearer pictures are not expected for hours given the vast distance (bottom right the spacecraft's path). The ancient target nicknamed Ultima Thule is 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) from Earth.

The American space agency is waiting on a signal from its New Horizons probe to confirm that it has made a successful flyby of Ultima Thule. The craft should have hurtled by the 30km-wide icy object earlier on Tuesday, acquiring a swathe of pictures and other scientific measurements. At 6.5 billion km from Earth, the encounter is the most distant ever exploration of a Solar System body.

NASA's New Horizons has reached the solar system's outermost region for a flyby of Ultima Thule, a 30km wide rock located in the Kuiper belt 6.5 billion km from Earth. Astronomer Francisco Diego tells us more about this most distant close encounter of its kind.

Less than a day to go before New Horizons flys close to a tiny object discovered on the edge of our solar system. This body wasn't discovered until a few years ago, and yet it also represents one of the most ancient, unevolved bodies in the solar system. For more information on the discovery of Ultima Thule I suggest looking at Alex Parker's summary of events on Twitter https://twitter.com/Alex_Parker/status/1077986070128668674

On New Year's 2019, I'm going to be part of a livestream for the New Horizons flyby of Ultima Thule, a Kuiper belt object (2014 MU69) that is a billion kilometers beyond Pluto!! This will be a 24-hour livestream Super Collab hosted by Christian Ready from Launchpad Astronomy, Tony Darnell from Deep Astronomy, and TMRO ★ Launchpad Astronomy - https://www.youtube.com/ChristianReady ★ Deep Astronomy - https://www.youtube.com/deepastronomy ★ TMRO - http://youtube.com/tmro Christian Ready will be at mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. We're going to talk with people from the New Horizons mission at APL and some of your favorite Space Nerds.
