the start of a 4 billion milejourney. lift off, atlas v takes flight. the atlas v rocket is carrying a craft called lucy, that aims to go into orbit around jupiter and study a group of asteroids called trojans, some of which are the size of a city. so what are the trojan asteroids? there asteroids which orbit withjupiter around the sun that ultimately hold the clues to the formation of our solar system. lucy s giant solar panels would only generate enough electricity to power a few light bulbs on earth but around jupiter, it s enough to reach the trojan asteroids and ask questions like what they made of and where do come from? by going to visit a large number, eight asteroids in total, over the mission lifetime, we ll really better understand all about the asteroids. so if you only see one, maybe you got a bit of a funny one, but by seeing eight, you get to really understand what s going on in this population.
