Lucy Discovers Moon Around Polymele

#1

Post by Unitron48 »

On March 27, Lucy’s science team discovered that the smallest of the mission’s Trojan asteroid targets, Polymele, has a satellite of its own: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/20 ... d-polymele.

Additional info on the Lucy mission can be found here. You may recall that Lucy is the first mission to the Trojan asteroids: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/lucy/overview/index.

Enjoy the read!
