Lucy at Trojan Asteroid

Caption

The SwRI-led Lucy mission will survey eight asteroids in 12 years with one spacecraft, breaking records in its epic journey to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids. These diverse, never-before-visited “fossils” left over from the formation of the solar system will reveal much about the origins of the solar system.
