"Lucy spacecraft's historic flyby reveals shadowy asteroid Dinkinesh"

NASA's Lucy spacecraft has successfully completed its first flyby of asteroid Dinkinesh, marking a milestone in its mission to visit 10 asteroids over the next 12 years. The spacecraft, part of NASA's Lucy mission to uncover secrets of the solar system's past, will study Trojan asteroids orbiting the sun alongside Jupiter. The flyby of Dinkinesh served as a test-run for the spacecraft's instruments, which collected data about the asteroid. The data will be downlinked to Earth over the next week. Lucy will now head back to Earth for a gravity assist before zooming towards its second asteroid target.
