New paper out 🥳
Using data from #NASA #Lucy mission and a series of numerical simulations, we show that #Selam, the moon of #Dinkinesh, likely formed through a series of at least four low-velocity collisions between similarly sized moonlets. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Die „Fabelhafte“ wird vom „Frieden“ umkreist. Am 1. November 2023 flog die NASA-Raumsonde Lucy in 431 Kilometer Entfernung am Asteroiden Dinkinesh vorbei. Hinter dem nur 720 Meter großen Hauptgürtelasteroiden tauchte in den ersten auf der Erde empfangenen Bilddaten hinter dem Horizont von Dinkinesh ein Trabant auf (großes Bild). Die eigentliche Überraschung kam jedoch mit Aufnahmen, die beim Abflug von Dinkinesh entstanden: Der Trabant ist ein Doppelkörper, ein sogenannter Kontakt-Binärasteroid (englisch „contact binary“), dessen beiden 210 und 230 Meter großen Teilkörper miteinander verbunden sind, sich um einen gemeinsamen Schwerpunkt drehen und dabei Dinkinesh umkreisen (kleines Bild). Der Begleiter bekam wie Dinkinesh („die Fabelhafte“) einen amharischen Namen: Selam („Frieden“, ሰላም). (Bild: NASA/Goddard/SwRI/Johns Hopkins APL/NOIRLab)

Ricordate l'asteroide #Dinkinesh avvicinato dalla sonda Lucy della NASA il 1° novembre? Le immagini ravvicinate mostrarono che in realtà è un asteroide binario. La sua piccola luna ora ha un nome ufficiale: Selam

Two asteroids against the blackness of space, as imaged by NASA's Lucy spacecraft. The larger asteroid is covered in boulders and pitted by craters. The smaller asteroid features some larger boulders clinging to its surface, as well as a small ridge across its face and some smaller craters. The pair orbit each other as they speed through space.
New discovery!
NASA’s Lucy mission finds that its first asteroid encounter was actually 'its first TWO asteroids'. #Dinkinesh turned out to be a binary pair.

Antenna dish Deep Space Station 35 located at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex in Australia, as part of NASA's Deep Space Network, is providing two-way contact for NASA's Lucy spacecraft. The antenna is pointed towards the deep blue sky with the Sun shining brightly above it.
NASA’s Lucy Spacecraft Completes Asteroid Flyby. The Lucy operations team has confirmed that NASA’s Lucy spacecraft has phoned home after its encounter with the small main belt asteroid, Dinkinesh. Based on the information received, the team has determined that the spacecraft is in good health and the team has commanded the spacecraft to start downlinking the data collected during the encounter. It will take up to a week for all the data collected during the encounter to be downlinked to Earth. The team is looking forward to see how the spacecraft performed during this first in-flight test of a high-speed asteroid encounter.
We are currently receiving data from @LucyMission after its encounter with asteroid #Dinkinesh this morning. The spacecraft is approximately 482 million kilometres (300 million miles) from Earth. More on the mission website: lucy.swri.edu
