#Arrokoth (or #486598MU69 or #MU69): Outer-Space Rock in the Kuiper Belt beyond Pluto that Might Explain 'How Planets Form' @gizmodo @jhuapl
The name “Arrokoth” is built on Powhatan (Maryland-, Virginia-native) words that mean “|Sky.”
“The name 'Arrokoth' reflects the inspiration of looking to the skies, and wondering about the stars and worlds beyond our own. That desire to learn is at the heart of the New Horizons mission, and we're honored to join with the Powhatan community and people of Maryland in this celebration of discovery.”
Know anything else interesting about that? Comment!
