Artist Omar Shaheed carved “Helping Hands”, a Columbus sculpture, in 2006.
But I can’t help thinking how much it looks like minor planet Arrokoth, discovered in 2014, the most distant celestial object we have ever closely photographed.

Huh, this is funny. Physical simulations of conditions on the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth imply that a fairly significant fraction of the surface could be made of... sugars?

it's funny how comets that enter the inner system get kind of all scrunkled up from volatiles subliming away. like compare arrokoth (43AU x 46AU orbit) to 67P/churyumov-gerasimenko (1.2AU x 5.7AU orbit)

La sonda New Horizons llegó al cuerpo más lejano que haya sido visitado nunca el 1 de enero de 2019. Arrokoth es un cuerpo binario situado en el cinturón de Kuiper a casi 6500 millones de kilómetros.

New Horizons brauchte neuneinhalb Jahre bis Pluto. Ein Abbremsen und Einschwenken in eine Umlaufbahn war dabei nicht möglich (das hätte zu viel Treibstoff erfordert und damit zu viel Gewicht bedeutet). Stattdessen flog sie weiter und nahm Anfang 2019 das Kuipergürtelobjekt Arrokoth aus der Nähe auf.

L'astéroïde Torifune a été survolé par la sonde #Hayabusa2 🇯🇵 hier, en voici une image !
Il a tout l'air d'un corps binaire à contact, formé de 2 lobes comme Arrokoth et Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Why is this not called an asteroid?
Arrokoth: Means "sky" in the language of the Powhatan people.
"Arrokoth isn't called an asteroid primarily because of its composition and location. Instead of being a rocky body in the inner solar system, Arrokoth is a frigid, icy world in the Kuiper Belt."

A view of Kuiper Belt Object 486958 Arrokoth made from image data acquired by New Horizons on January 1, 2019. This is a contact binary about 36 km long; it orbits the Sun at 42-46 AU and takes 298 Earth years to complete one orbit!
