On April 20th, NASA's Lucy mission will come within 960 km of the asteroid Donald Johanson, completing another appetizer of science before it reaches its destination in Jupiter's Trojan belt. It's a tiny moving point of light today, but over the next few months, it will get bigger and bigger until Lucy can resolve features on its 3-km-wide surface. The asteroid was named for anthropologist Donald Johanson, who discovered the original "Lucy" skeleton.
