With solar flares, hurricanes and general political dysfunction dominating the world, the Universe goes on.
Such it is with the New Horizons mission which just filed its flight plan for the 1/1/18 flyby of 2014 MU69.

Artist's concept of NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft flying by a possible binary 2014 MU69 on Jan. 1, 2019. Early observations of MU69 hint at the Kuiper Belt object being either a binary orbiting pair or a contact (stuck together) pair of nearly like-sized bodies with diameters near 20 and 18 kilometers (12 and 11 miles).
