First-ever close-up photo of peanut-shaped asteroid released
NASA has released the first-ever high-resolution image of the main-belt asteroid Donaldjohanson, highlighting its unique peanut shape. This came after NASA's Lucy mission had a key encounter with this asteroid in the solar system's main asteroid belt on April 20. The spacecraft took high-resolution images using its L'LORRI imager a few minutes before its closest approach to the asteroid.
