… It has turned out to be fairly flat but it depends how it is rotating to what kind of view you get. New Horizons scientists reveal the two lobes are not spherical. The larger lobe resembles a pancake and the smaller one is shaped like a squashed walnut. The new images are a puzzle, it would seem. How could Ultima Thule have formed. Naturally, EU has a theory. Moqui Marbles are found in the Utah deserts – stone balls like small eggs. A comparison has been made with Iapetus, a moon of Saturn (as captured by Cassini). See the first link for these ideas.
