A new study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) Planetary Scientist and Associate Vice President Dr. Alan Stern posits that the large, approximately 5-kilometer-long mounds that dominate the ...
A peculiar peanut-shaped object in the Kuiper Belt, Arrokoth, has intrigued astronomers since NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft visited it in 2019. The latest study offers a new understanding of how this ...

Arrokoth has a geometric albedo of p_V = 0.21_ (-0.04)^ (+0.05) at a wavelength of 550 nm and ~0.24 at 610 nm. Arrokoth’s geometric albedo is greater than the median but consistent with a distribution ...
This time last year, the New Horizons mission visited the furthest object humanity has ever reached — Arrokoth, beyond the orbit of Pluto in an area called the Kuiper Belt. Now, scientists have ...
A new study posits that the large, approximately 5-kilometer-long mounds that dominate the appearance of the larger lobe of the pristine Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth are similar enough to suggest a ...
