First 'good' images of the New Horizons flyby of Ultima Thule are out. It's a 'dirty snowman'. :-)

It's a 'go' for closest approach to Ultima Thule by New Horizons. The Hazard team have concluded that there are 'no moons or rings in the path of New Horizons on its planned closest approach to Ultima'.
