First 'good' images of the New Horizons flyby of Ultima Thule are out. It's a 'dirty snowman'. :-)

It has begun!

"Alan Stern @AlanStern

BREAKING…Signal has just been received at mission control, New Horizons has successfully started its flyby program of stored commands and the exploration of Ultima Thule 4 billion miles away! THIS IS IT FOLKS, FLYBY HAS BEGUN! Go New Horizons!!"

It's a 'go' for closest approach to Ultima Thule by New Horizons. The Hazard team have concluded that there are 'no moons or rings in the path of New Horizons on its planned closest approach to Ultima'.
