New Delhi: NASA’s New Horizons craft which became the first to journey to Ultima Thule - the most distant and possibly oldest space object ever explored. The photos that were beamed by the craft as it flew by Utima Thule on January 1 have been share by NASA for the public. The images show Thule as an object consisting of two connected spheres, resembling a reddish snowman like structure. Based on fuzzy images obtained earlier, the scientists had said that Ultima Thule resembled a bowling pin, however, the new images - taken from as close as 27,000 kilometres on approach - revealed Ultima Thule as resembling a snowman. Now, the flyby is a historic achievement, but the netizens could not help poking fun at the shape of the object. Hours after the image was shared by NASA on the micro-blogging website Twitter, a series of jokes and memes erupted. Some users commented that it resembled chicken nugget, while to some it appeared like pancakes stuck together and for others it was a pitta bread. Check here:
