Lucy spacecraft's successful flyby of shadowy asteroid Dinkinesh on journey to Jupiter

NASA's Lucy spacecraft has successfully completed a flyby of the first of 10 asteroids on its journey to Jupiter. The spacecraft encountered the small asteroid named Dinkinesh, testing its instruments before reaching the larger Trojans, which are considered to be time capsules from the early solar system. Lucy will swing past eight Trojans before completing its mission in 2033. The spacecraft's solar wing remains loose but stable, and it will take at least a week for all the data and images from the flyby to be transmitted back to Earth.
