Planetary scientists are keenly interested in the story of the Trojan asteroids. They suspect these objects are captured relics of our solar system's formation some 4 billion years ago.

NASA and the Southwest Research Institutes (SwRI) Lucy space probe witnessed the total lunar eclipse of May 2022 from far away.
