And now we have a gif of Ultima Thule's rotation.

Well its actually just two frames, the flyby was so fast. 51000 km/h in fact.

These are 38 minutes apart and give little bit of a three dimensional look to the pictures of the most distant world ever explored so far.

We are getting closer to the hub, it seems! But at 51000 km/h, two frames doesn't do too much justice but still gives some kind of perspective as to what is out there. This is rather exciting and we look forward to the next generation of technology which, no doubt, will bring another vital piece of the puzzle. Very cool gavvet.

That is amazing! It's incredible how far science has come that we can now SEE these things!

Thanks so much for posting!
