I'm finding it hard to keep track of which lobe is Wenu and which is Weeyo. But it might help that Sky crater is on Weeyo (both have a Y at/near the end) and Kaʼan Arcus (the 'road to nowhere') is on Wenu (both have an N at/near the end). — kwami ( talk) 15:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

In the wake of the changes made to Neptune's images to bring it closer to true color, I would like to bring up that I am fairly certain that the images of Arrokoth on its page are also inaccurate and heavily saturated. Tholins, although often termed as appearing "red" by astronomers, almost never appear truly red in the colloquial sense on astronomical bodies -- this extends from Pluto and Charon to Europa's linea, which all appear muddy brown. Therefore, it should stand to reason that Arrokoth's true color would likewise also be similar; it may be best to find a more accurate color image of Arrokoth.
