The "Eyes on the Solar System" live visual tracker is super fun to play around with as well. Came across the Arrokoth page while reading about [1] another set of "contact-binary" space rocks.

The idea that its two lobes joined through a slow, gentle collision is really cool. It could hold clues of how planets first began forming billions of years ago. Really interesting object.
