Lucy, the space probe of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), took new pictures of our planet and the Moon.
As reported by Ukrinform, this is stated in the NASA press release.
On October 15, the probe took the first photograph showing Earth alone using the Terminal Monitoring Camera (T2CAM) from a distance of 620,000 kilometers.
The second photo, showing our planet and the Moon, was also taken thanks to the Terminal Tracking Camera (T2CAM), but is 1.4 million kilometers away on October 13.
During the 12-year voyage, it was noted that the Lucy spacecraft has already flown near a record number of asteroids, looking for “clues” to better understand the formation of the Solar System by examining their diversity.
As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA Juno space probe has shown another photo of the surface of Europa, a moon of Jupiter.
