NASA's Lucy probe will fly by a 'dinky' asteroid on Nov. 1. Here's what to expect (video) | Space

NASA's Lucy probe will fly by the space rock Dinkinesh on Nov. 1, and an agency video gives us a preview of the encounter.

The Lucy mission , which launched in October 2021, was not originally set to visit the 0.5-mile-wide (0.8 kilometers) Dinkinesh, previously known by the designation 1999 VD57; the decision to add it to the spacecraft's itinerary was made in January 2023.
