It’s evidently a concretion of globules of approximately the same stuff. Many fewer impact craters than I expected. The big crater on Frosty the Snowman’s head shows evidence of 2 impacts. It will be interesting to see the full analysis from NASA.

A high definition photograph taken of a 20 mile long object a billion miles further out than Pluto (very little light!) by a craft 2,200 miles from the object and with a relative speed of 32,000 mph. Wow. Congratulations NASA, you are truly amazing.

No question at all … it's a giant Menteche cheese! Hope it strikes the Earth (preferably the Oval Office). Yumm!

Wow. Just wow. How lucky are we to witness this?

It is clearly an alien artifact. My guess is that it's a vault containing the secrets of the universe It was left there for us to find. Sort of like a black obelisk. Oops, I'm a little late.

There is a ring on the larger orb. And even a seeming bulls eye in the middle of it. Hmm. An in the same year of a comet shaped like an imaginary space ship. They're getting closer

To me it has a resemblance to a young baby with arms clasped around knees.
Many congratulations to NASA from a tiny part of this world on their superb achievement!
It looks like two potatoes stuck together.

Albert Einstein calling. He wants to know: "Moving at 32,000 miles per hour -- relative to what?"

the sun I would imagine?

Proof that not only is there intelligent life out there, but that it has a wicked sense of humor. How else can you explain that we’ve spent billions to fly into outer space to photograph … a giant question mark?

@Angelus Ravenscroft
What should we be spending the billions on?
Nike’s?
Baseball?
TV?
It’s called science.

No it’s call human curiosity and exploitation. To boldly go forward to expand our understanding. Scientific methodology is just a way for us to order question and validate that knowledge but we the humans are letf to wonder expand the bounds of its means science as we use does not mean what we think it does it’s only the tool not the job or crafter.

@Angelus Ravenscroft it also explored Pluto. The first craft to do so. When launched, Pluto was still the 9th planet.
