In our old Latin Courses - Ultima Thule could be anything outside your borders, as far away as you could possibly get. Like Greenland if you were a Roman. LOL In a lot of Science Fiction books (and plots) the goal it to find Ultima Thule, or go there. And here she was orbing in our Solar System...so they changed her name, because she isn't all that far away. LOL

SGT Kevin Hughes - Props for knowing the Latin.
A closer read would pick up the irony I was making with my post, which I figured only I would get.

1SG (Join to see) - That was an Oscar Wilde level stab at Irony...but I think many of us Nerds got it. My Latin sucks nowadays. At one time I could read the Punic Wars ...in Latin. Now? Well a quarter stops me. I was fifteen the last time I studied Latin...and haven't touched it since. Even more scary to me now that I am near seventy...is my English Vocabulary is going the same way! I now find myself using words like: "that thingy over there!" LOL

I think the evidence still is in doubt. There might be more than one way to form a planet...and we know violent collisions do happen, we have craters everywhere. So do they clump by gravity, and when they reach a big enough size, no more clumping but bunches of small collisions? It does feed fuel to to learning more!
