I just sent the second issue of my #newsletter out to subscribers! Small Body Rings, Visits, and Close Approaches, with news about the close flyby of #neo #asteroid #2023BU, #Chariklo and its #rings, and the November flyby of a new target for the #LucyMission. https://elakdawalla.beehiiv.com/p/2023bu-chariklo-rings-lucy-1999vd57

So many choices this year!

It's #CountdownToLaunch for our #LucyMission, set to launch Oct. 16 & begin its voyage to the Trojan asteroids – leftovers of planet formation that share an orbit with Jupiter. We'll discover secrets of the early solar system from these planetary fossils! nasa.gov/lucy pic.twitter.com/Rv6BJMsRBn https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1448700069889331202
