Scientists named this object Arrokoth. A very large city would fit on it.

READ MORE: The New Horizons spacecraft was launched 14 years ago. Now it is billions of miles from Earth. It took over one year for clear images of a little orbiting body to reach Earth. The object looks like a red snowman. Scientists have named it Arrokoth. The name means “sky” in the Native American Powhatan language. It is the most distant object ever explored by a spacecraft from Earth. Nehemiah 9:6 tells us, “You are the Lord, you alone. You have made the heaven of heavens, with all their host.”
