SPACE: New Horizons completes flyby of Ultima Thule. But bandwidth limits mean we’ll have to wait for the goodies: “It will take about 20 months for New Horizons to transmit the estimated seven gigabytes of data it collected during the flyby. The next few days will see some high-resolution images, Stern said, although the sharpest images — with an estimated resolution as good as 33 meters per pixel — won’t come down until February. Some initial spectral data will also be returned this week.”
