NASA’s asteroid probe Lucy on course for 1st space rock flyby

NASA’s asteroid-hopping Lucy spacecraft has adjusted course on its way to explore distant space rocks.

Lucy’s current trajectory will see the probe visit the tiny asteroid Dinkinesh in November 2023. The spacecraft will stop off at this half-mile-wide asteroid before heading off to become the first craft to visit the Trojan asteroids that follow the orbit of Jupiter around the sun.
