Here are some key points from the image and its description: Close Encounter: New Horizons flew within 3,500 kilometers of Ultima Thule, much closer than its approach to Pluto. Navigational Precision: This close encounter required exceptional navigational precision, given the vast distance from Earth. Sharpest Image: The image is described as the "most detailed picture possible" of Ultima Thule, with a resolution of about 33 meters per pixel. Intriguing Features: The image reveals the object's shape and surface features, including bright areas and dark patches. Bot described Alt

Here is a detailed alt-text description of the image: A grayscale image shows a close-up of Ultima Thule, a Kuiper Belt object. Ultima Thule appears as two distinct, somewhat rounded lobes connected together, resembling a slightly misshapen snowman. The surface shows variations in brightness and texture, with some areas appearing smoother and others showing more craters or irregularities. The background is entirely black.

A close-up photo of the New Horizons spacecraft, a gold-colored probe with a large dish antenna, dominates the top half. Below the image, the text "New Horizons" is prominently displayed in a large, stylized font, followed by the description: "NASA spacecraft launched in 2006". Further text details that it's an interplanetary probe, part of NASA's New Frontiers program, and was engineered by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and the Southwest Research Institute, led by Alan Stern. The bottom of the image shows Wikipedia's app interface with options for saving, language selection, searching within the article, theme selection, and viewing the contents.
