Nice! Best post of the New Year!
Cheers, m2h, and all!

And today NASA flew past the most distant object visited by man ... a space rock named Ultima Thule. It's only 4 billion miles away. They didn't even know it existed when they launched the probe to visit Pluto in 2006. An upgrade to the Hubble telescope revealed it in 2009.

I was considering the name "Ultima Thule" for a band I wanted to put together back around 1992. It never happen- was lost in space somewhere. Glad they found it.

2018 was certainly a wild ride and I expect 2019 to be even crazier!
