Trump would believe it be a probe sent by us liberals to colonize a new planet, this would ignite his new Space Force to be implemented to counteract his trumpism. But he does not have Luke Skywalker.....lol.

New Horizons: Nasa probe survives flyby of Ultima Thule
By Jonathan Amos BBC Science Correspondent

The US space agency's New Horizons probe has made contact with Earth to confirm its successful flyby of the icy world known as Ultima Thule.

The encounter occurred some 6.5bn km (4bn miles) away, making it the most distant ever exploration of an object in our Solar System.

New Horizons acquired gigabytes of photos and other observations during the pass.

It will now send these home over the coming months.

I just added it and it is easy to find. Just search for "NASA" and on my Roku there are two choices - NASA TV and NASA TV 4k.
