PIX4643784: The New Horizons probe near 2014 MU69 - Artist's View - New Horizons and 2014 MU69 (single) - Artwork: Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near the small object of Kuiper 2014 MU69. Observations in 2017 show that 2014 MU69 would be either a binary object (model favors), in contact or not, or a single object lengthens (as here). Speculative illustration of Nasa's New Horizons interplanetary probe flying by classical Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69, about 3 billion miles from the Earth, on 1 January 2019. 2014 MU69 is either a single elongated object about 30 miles long, or two smaller objects orbiting very closely together, maybe even touching; this image illustrates the latter. New Horizons is about the size and shape of a grand piano and weighed 1,054 pounds at launch. The high-gain dish antenna is about 7 feet in diameter and is employed for communication with the Earth / Bridgeman Images
