Observations & fiction

New Horizons observed Arrokoth during its 2019 flyby. Its two connected lobes support a gentle merger of once separate bodies. Our close-up routes are imagined; use the real image to compare the overall shape, not to verify these invented paths.

You helped it cross; it helped you return. The recovered observations point toward Haumea. The unexplained signal remains a question, not evidence of life.
