There you are, Dinkinesh! The #LucyMission's first look at its first asteroid target. nasa.gov/feature/goddar…

Getting excited for Asteroid Autumn! forbes.com/sites/jamiecar…

Something big is happening in the Utah desert this Sunday, Sept. 24! NASA scientists will gather for the arrival of the largest asteroid sample ever received on Earth. The cast of #AsteroidCity cast asked about the mission. 🔽 For more info visit nasa.gov/osiris-rex

Tomorrow is the first day of fall, and this weekend is the first of three big asteroid mission milestones this season! Watch live coverage of the OSIRIS REx sample return this Sunday and have a great Asteroid Autumn! nasa.gov/osiris-rex

A year ago today, the #DARTMission successfully changed the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, and Lucy was lucky enough to watch! This false color image shows Lucy's view of the debris cloud. Data collected from this #PlanetaryDefense test mission is still teaching new things!

Less than one month until the #LucyMission gets a close up look at its first asteroid, the small Main Belt asteroid, Dinkinesh! Check out the new resources page for more fun Lucy content as we get ready for this first encounter! science.nasa.gov/lucy-mission-r…

Just one more week until the launch of our sister mission @MissionToPysche! 🚀🎉 We're re-watching #LucyMission's launch from Oct 16, 2021 while we wait. Go Psyche!

Congrats Mission To Psyche! So excited to see what you discover!

On October 14 the Sun, Moon, and Earth will be perfectly lined for a Solar Eclipse. While you won't be able to see it, Lucy will also be on almost the same line on the other side of the Sun! Learn more about the Solar Eclipse go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2023 and #WaveToLucy!

Happy 2nd Launchiversary, Lucy! Two years in space!

🍂🪨 It's still asteroid autumn here at NASA. Next up, on Nov. 1 our #LucyMission will visit the first of its 10 asteroid targets, a tiny main-belt asteroid called Dinkinesh. This flyby will allow Lucy to test a crucial system: autonomous terminal tracking go.nasa.gov/4035kX2

Near Boulder, Colorado? Tonight or tomorrow night, join us at the University of Colorado Boulder's Fiske Planetarium for a special presentation about Lucy and the Nov 1 asteroid encounter! colorado.edu/fiske/showtime…

Happy Halloween! We are expecting quite a treat tomorrow when Lucy has its first close encounter of the asteroidal kind! Learn how and why NASA is visiting the small main belt asteroid, Dinkinesh, here: lucy.swri.edu/DinkineshEncou…

Just hours left until the #LucyMission's first close up look at an asteroid! Check out blogs.nasa.gov/lucy for the encounter timeline and latest updates! Find links to the full story in one place here: lucy.swri.edu/DinkineshEncou…

We expect that Lucy is at its closest approach to asteroid Dinkinesh at just 270 miles (430 km) away. But it's a quick hello, as Lucy speeds by the half-mile-wide asteroid at 10,000 mph (4.5 km/s)! go.nasa.gov/3MohgNv

Hello Lucy! The spacecraft phoned home and is healthy. Now, the engineers will command Lucy to send science data from the Dinkinesh encounter to Earth. This data downlink will take several days. Thanks for following along today and stay tuned! go.nasa.gov/3sgxWj7

This is why we explore. Turns out that asteroid Dinkinesh is… asteroids Dinkinesh? During the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby on Nov. 1, we discovered that the main belt asteroid is a party of two, or binary pair! go.nasa.gov/40pe1eE

The #LucyMission flyby was a test run of the spacecraft’s terminal tracking system and instruments, which Lucy passed with flying colors. The team will use the data from the encounter to prepare for Lucy's next asteroid flyby in 2025. go.nasa.gov/40pe1eE

In the Denver area? Come to a special event at the Denver Museum to celebrate the #LucyMission's first asteroid encounter and the upcoming 50th anniversary of the discovery of the Lucy Fossil! secure1.dmns.org/hal-levison-an…

Lucy, you’ve surprised us again New images from the #LucyMission’s first asteroid flyby show that a satellite, already unexpected, is made of two objects – a contact binary. This is the first time we’ve seen a contact binary orbiting another asteroid. go.nasa.gov/3QwiebO
