      Explanation: Last Wednesday the voyaging Lucy spacecraft encountered   
      its first asteroid, 152830 Dinkinesh, and discovered the inner-main   
      belt asteroid has a moon. From a distance of just over 400 kilometers,   
      Lucy's Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager captured this close-up of the   
      binary system during a flyby at 4.5 kilometer per second or around   
      10,000 miles per hour. A marvelous world, Dinkinesh itself is small,   
      less than 800 meters (about 0.5 miles) across at its widest. Its   
      satellite is seen from the spacecraft's perspective to emerge from   
      behind the primary asteroid. The asteroid moon is estimated to be only   
      about 220 meters wide.
