Thanks to a powerful engine burn on Feb. 3, NASA's asteroid-hopping Lucy spacecraft is on its way back to Earth for a Christmas-time rendezvous this year.

NASA's Lucy mission will fire its main engines for the first time on Wednesday (Jan. 31.)

Here we explore how Lagrange points work, who discovered them, and the Trojan asteroids that lurk within them.

The Lucy mission has shared additional images from its flyby of the asteroid Dinkinesh, revealing the surprising companion orbiting the space rock isn’t what it initially seemed.

With its first flyby of the asteroid Dinkinesh, Lucy discovered it is not one single asteroid, but a system of two, with a small 220m-wide satellite spinning around it.

Dinkinesh, the smallest main belt asteroid ever seen up close by NASAs Lucy spacecraft this week, has been revealed to be a binary, with a moonlet in orbit.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft just flew by its first asteroid — and discovered that the space rock has a companion.
