Watch Live As NASA Visits An Object 4 BILLION Miles Away

Today is the beginning of a new year and it’s also the beginning of the hunt of a brand-new world in the Solar System. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has now arrived at its second target, after Pluto, a 30-kilometer (20-mile) object called Ultima Thule, like the mythical land of old. You can follow the official NASA Livestream below or here on NASA TV. From 9:45 am EST (2:45 pm GMT), you can wait with the members of the team for the reception of the first signals and data from the spacecraft.
