NASA Lucy mission

Discover how Lucy will travel to a record-breaking number of destinations – a total of seven Trojan asteroids, including both the L4 and L5 swarms. These enigmatic asteroids are locked in stable orbits around Jupiter, offering a unique window into the history of our solar system. Lucy's advanced instruments will help scientists decipher the asteroids' composition, structure, and origins, shedding light on questions about the formation of the planets and the conditions that prevailed during the solar system's early evolution.
