The **scientific name of Ultima Thule is (486958) 2014 MU69.** [Researchers](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/62173/when-was-research-and-analysis-wing-raw-established) are also investigating a huge number of areas features on **Ultima Thule, like the bright spots and patches, hills and troughs, and craters and pits on Ultima Thule.** \
**The Ultima Thule was [discovered](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/49567/which-scientist-discovered-the-radioactive-element-radium) in the year 2014**, **by using the ‘Hubble Space Telescope’** as the part of the search for objects of New Horizons Mission. The **New Horizons spacecraft is about 6.6 billion kilometers from [Earth](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/48535/who-is-the-writer-of-the-unaccustomed-earth) and is still operating normally and speeding deeper into the Kuiper Belt** nearly at a speed of 53,000 kilometers per hour. \
The Principal Investigator of the New Horizon Mission said that ‘there is no doubt that the discoveries made about Ultima Thule are going to advance theories of [solar system](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/32077/astronomers-have-discovered-a-possible-twin-of-which-planet-in-our-solar-system) formation’. **The New Horizons spacecraft efficiently continues to carry out new observation of additional Kuiper Belt objects it passes in the distance.** The data transmission from the flyby continues and will go on until the late summer of 2020. \
**The color appearance of Ultima Thule is ‘Red’ or say, very red, even more than Pluto.** The appearance is so Red because it is believed to be the modification of organic materials on its surface.
