The agency has published photos of the asteroid Altima Thule, located about 6.4 billion kilometers from Earth.
The asteroid appeared in the long-awaited images in the form of a sloping snowman or a bean and a reddish color, along about 33 kilometers and probably more than 4.5 billion years.
The probe will fly 3,500 kilometers from the surface of Altima Thuley. Scientists hope to know the chemical composition of its atmosphere and its terrain during a mission. According to NASA, it will be the closest surveillance of a body in this extreme dimension of the Earth.
