Farewell to @NASAkepler, hello to NASA InSight & Parker Solar Probe ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space. In the next few days, it's worth keeping an eye on what NASA New Horizons reveals about KBO-2014-MU69 (nicknamed Ultima Thule) an object a billion miles beyond Pluto. #UltimaThule #UltimaFlyby

It's happening! NASA New Horizons is hours away from performing the farthest flyby in history as it approaches the Kuiper Belt object #UltimaThule! Info on media briefings, online coverage of the #UltimaFlyby (and more!) is all here: bit.ly/nh-schedule

Such a great tribute to a great colleague and friend.

I didn't see the poster in person but I've seen a paper describing these color maps and I've started using them myself. I highly recommend, #endrainbow
