Let's take a break from talking about student opportunities and discuss one of NASA's most exciting upcoming missions: the @LucyMission to the Jupiter Trojan Asteroids! #Lucy2021 
Lucy will be launching atop an Atlas V 401 later this year on a long duration mission to study two groups of Jupiter Trojan Asteroids up close using a complex flight plan of multiple flybys. #Lucy2021
These asteroids reside at Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrangian points, known as the Greek and Trojan camps respectively. The interesting thing about them is that they may offer us a window into the primordial material of the Solar System! #Lucy2021
