PICK A NAME FOR 2014 MU69

Hey Space Placers!

Get creative and pick a name for 2014 MU69, New Horizons' next flyby target.

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).
