Re: NASA Planetary Mission Updates

What is known about 2014 MU69?

I've heard everything from transient planetary body to Brown Dwarf to(and I lend no credence to this) Niburu.

Any real facts or photography to work with yet?

Best guess?

Like many early woodcuts, it was probably done for a Bible. My vote is for Ezekiel seeing the wheel.

This is obviously the Cotton Bale Nebula. If you've ever seen a Cotton Bale bursting at the ends, you'll know what I mean.
