NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has made its first detection of its next flyby target, the Kuiper Belt object nicknamed Ultima Thule, more than four months ahead of its New Year's 2019 close encounter.
my 2 cents:
New Horizons ist amazing: 41.62 AU (3868820000 miles) away from earth it was able to detect an object in distance of 100 million miles away.
