Lucy’s first images of asteroid Donaldjohanson show a contact binary—two bodies fused by gravity.
Why it matters: These shapes hold clues to how planets and asteroids formed in the early solar system.
More data coming soon.

What are globular clusters?
They’re dense, spherical collections of up to millions of stars, bound by gravity.
NGC 6355 is one such cluster, located ~50,000 light-years away in the Milky Way’s inner regions.

Why does a dying star look like a butterfly?
As the star runs out of fuel, it blows off gas in opposite directions.
The Butterfly Nebula is a snapshot of this dramatic end-of-life phase of a dying star.

I found a clue to one of Mars’ many mysteries!
There's strong evidence the planet had liquid water billions of years ago, suggesting a carbon-rich atmosphere. But where did it all go? My CheMin instrument found a mineral that may help answer that. go.nasa.gov/4cBvJS5
Nearly all of Andromeda’s satellite galaxies gather on the side facing us.
A cosmic coincidence—or a crack in our understanding of dark matter?
This lopsided dance defies the standard model.

The Universe’s first explosions may have created water.
Simulations show that early supernovae forged this life-giving molecule.
Water was flowing just 200 million years after the Big Bang.
