: Once the probe passes an asteroid, there is no turning back to collect more data. Recent Milestones
Because of the spacecraft's immense speed, its actual scientific observation time is surprisingly short.
Despite a minor technical setback early in the mission—one of its two massive solar wings failed to fully latch—NASA flight controllers have determined the spacecraft is stable enough to complete its historic voyage.
: LucY (Lucigen Yellow) is a versatile fluorescent protein used in molecular biology for protein-protein interaction studies.
: Lucy does not stop at any asteroids; it only "zips" past them.
