Lucy is a spacecraft orbiting Jupiter (Jupiter-Jupiter) to study clusters of two asteroids. One of them is in front of Jupiter in the orbit of the campus. The other is in the back.
NASA scientists say the study of these asteroids could help understand the effects of the first phase of solar system formation.
Space: Mysterious dimming of a distant star may be from shape-shifting dust | New Scientist
Around a star about 2300 light years away, something strange is happening. An object is circling the star and blocking out light, but the size and shape of this entity appear to be constantly changing and astronomers don’t know what it is.
Brian Powell at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland and his colleagues spotted an odd pattern in the light from a binary star system called TIC 400799224 using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. They found that about once every …
This'll be us... in 5 Billion Years - Universe Today
Scientists have long known the fate of our solar system – and likely the fate of Earth itself. In a few billion years, the Sun will run out of fusion fuel and expand to a " red giant " phase, likely swallowing everything in the solar system up to the orbit of Mars.
They used a technique called gravitational lensing , an exoplanet detection technique that the effect gravity has on light to detect planets around stars that lined up directly in front of another star.
Errant Russian spacecraft thruster firing tilts space station by accident again | Space
Unplanned thruster firings by a Russian spacecraft briefly knocked the International Space Station off-kilter today (Oct. 15), the second such incident in less than three months.
The spacecraft involved today was the Soyuz MS-18 , which is scheduled to bring cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, film director Klim Shipenko and actor Yulia Peresild back to Earth early Sunday morning (Oct. 17). Russian flight controllers fired up the vehicle's thrusters at 5:02 a.m.

NASA spacecraft conducts experiments to unravel the mystery of the creation of the Solar System
NASA has sent a spacecraft to test how the Solar System was created. In particular, the asteroid orbiting Jupiter will help unravel the mystery. This is called the ‘search for fossils’ in the solar system.
The spacecraft, named ‘Lucy’, was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Saturday. The spacecraft Lucy will observe a large layer of gas in Jupiter’s orbit, which is surrounded by a cluster of asteroids.
