NASA's Lucy spacecraft has captured video of the Trojan asteroids as it sprints through space toward them.
and traveling through the universe at over 90,000 mph, Lucy won’t reach the Trojan asteroids until 2027 and 2028. The spacecraft will capture information about the swarms as it completes multiple flybys.
The primary goal of the Lucy mission is to study nine of the Trojan asteroids throughout a 12-year-long mission. Most of the mission time will be taken up by space travel as Lucy loops between the different swarms of Trojans found in our solar system.Mashable . The spacecraft won’t stop for samples or anything, so we will have to go by the videos and photos that Lucy returns of the Trojans.
Still, this will at least give us a close-up view of these mysterious asteroids and could lay the groundwork for future missions to dig deeper to learn more about where these asteroids came from and if the Trojans are remnants of our early solar system.
