CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Lucy spacecraft will swoop past a small asteroid this weekend as it makes its way to an even bigger prize: the unexplored swarms of asteroids out near Jupiter.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft is six days and less than 50 million miles (80 million km) away from its second close encounter with an asteroid; this time, the small main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson.

It's the shape and possible cosmic history of Donaldjohanson that instead intrigued NASA when the space agency's Lucy spacecraft recently passed the asteroid by during its own cosmic journey.
