00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.003
(music throughout)

2
00:00:05.088 --> 00:00:08.049
So you're finally getting on your way
to your asteroid encounters.

3
00:00:08.049 --> 00:00:11.344
Say, which Trojan asteroid
are you visiting first,

4
00:00:11.344 --> 00:00:15.306
Lucy? Eurybates!

5
00:00:16.641 --> 00:00:18.893
You still have quite a long journey
before you get there.

6
00:00:19.978 --> 00:00:22.939
So why don't you tell us
what you already know about this

7
00:00:22.939 --> 00:00:24.858
first Trojan target?

8
00:00:28.945 --> 00:00:32.907
You're right. We don't know
much about these objects just yet.

9
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:36.536
Keep in mind, our only observations
of these asteroids

10
00:00:36.745 --> 00:00:40.665
have been from a great distance
away from telescopes back here on Earth.

11
00:00:41.374 --> 00:00:43.710
And with the Hubble Space Telescope.

12
00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:47.088
Scientists have used all kinds
of different telescopes to get basic

13
00:00:47.088 --> 00:00:50.884
information about Lucy's Trojan
asteroid destinations - where they are,

14
00:00:51.176 --> 00:00:54.637
how they're moving,
how big they are, their general color.

15
00:00:55.180 --> 00:00:59.350
And if we're lucky,
a very rough idea of their general shape.

16
00:01:00.602 --> 00:01:02.604
But nothing compares to actually flying

17
00:01:02.604 --> 00:01:05.857
right past these asteroids
and getting a close up view.

18
00:01:06.483 --> 00:01:09.569
And that's where Lucy comes in.

19
00:01:09.694 --> 00:01:13.948
Yeah, exciting! This is the first close
up of these worlds.

20
00:01:14.574 --> 00:01:17.786
You'll be learning as much as you can
about these Trojan asteroids

21
00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:21.873
and giving us a new glimpse
into what these distant worlds are.

22
00:01:22.665 --> 00:01:24.250
Now, get some rest, Lucy.

23
00:01:24.250 --> 00:01:27.128
It'll be a long journey
before you get to your first destination.
