(CNN) — Dinkinesh, a small asteroid that NASA’s Lucy mission visited last week, continues to surprise.
ABC57 News in South Bend, Ind. covers all of Michiana including St. Joseph, Elkhart, Kosciusko, LaPorte and Marshall counties in Indiana and Berrien, Cass, Van Buren and St. Joseph counties in Mich.
