#Asteroid Donaldjohanson
Lucy spacecraft snapped a close-up of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, an 8 km long main belt asteroid, from 1100 km away. Named after the discoverer of the Lucy fossil, this contact binary formed from a gentle collision. Lucy will visit #Jupiter's Trojans after touring the main belt.

Asteroids are just giant space peanuts.
I know you see it too.

#AstroForge CEO Matt Gialich isn’t surprised the startup failed to reach its destination on its first #asteroid mission #Odin in February: https://payloadspace.com/a-post-mission-debrief-with-astroforges-ceo/ - in fact, don’t be surprised if the next spacecraft, set to launch with Intuitive Machine’s IM-3 this fall, fails too.
@Olly42@nerdculture.deNASA doubles odds of Moon hitting Near-Earth Asteroid [2024 YR4].
"Experts at NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have updated [2024 YR4]’s chance of impacting the Moon on December 22, 2032 from 1.7 to 3.8 percent," the agency said.
