NASA's Lucy mission adds 9th asteroid to its list of attractions

The asteroid still doesn't have a name, and it likely won't for a while

[{ "selector": ".duicf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 424px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Lucy launched in October 2021 and is bound for the Trojan asteroids, which, thanks to the pull of Jupiter's immense gravity,

[{ "selector": ".demzp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 394px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

In 2027, Lucy will become the first human-made object to fly past one of these asteroids.

The mission was designed to zoom past a main-belt asteroid then swing through a complicated itinerary of Trojan asteroids

scientists have determined that one of Lucy's original target asteroids has a companion:

In March, astronomers observing Polymele in preparation for Lucy's eventual visit watched the asteroid pass in front of a star

[{ "selector": ".pigzw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 387px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

scientists know more about the asteroid's exact orbit, which might not happen until Lucy's visit.

[{ "selector": ".ebpbr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 410px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]
