The first, higher definition images of ultima thule have been recently beamed back to earth, and it appears Ultima Thule is a binary asteroid, as seen in the new, much better images than from the previous day.

The new images β€” taken from as close as 17,000 miles (27,000 kilometers) on approach β€” revealed Ultima Thule as a "contact binary," consisting of two connected spheres. End to end, the world measures 19 miles (31 kilometers) in length. The team has dubbed the larger sphere "Ultima" (12 miles/19 kilometers across) and the smaller sphere "Thule" (9 miles/14 kilometers across).
