This object was originally named 2014 MU69, a strange space rock with a diameter of about 37km but there may be up to 2 moons orbiting around. Preliminary research shows that it is a "cold monument" from the birth of the Solar System.

The mystery of 2014 MU69 is shown by the nickname Ultima Thule that NASA gives it. Ultima Thule is a phrase that was born in literature and later used in many literary, musical, and cinematographic works, referring to a distant land that is almost impossible to reach. Thule is also the name of a legend island that is mentioned a lot in Greek-Roman literature, somewhere in the Arctic Ocean where modern science has not yet been identified.

"In fact, we are not sure what to expect" - Alan Stern, from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI, Colorado, USA), lead researcher of NASA's New Horizons mission, said during the meeting. recent newspaper.

However, with preliminary studies, scientists believe that when they reach Ultima Thule, New Horizons will gather valuable information to help them know the formation of the Solar System.

Estimated at 32,000km / hr, New Horizons will take about 10 weeks to go from this mysterious world. This spacecraft is NASA's farthest mission space probe, launched in 2006. It is equipped with a radioactive isotope generator where it works too far from the sun, no Solar cells can be used like other spacecraft.
