Of the eight planets, Earth is the third, Mars the fourth, and Jupiter the fifth. Between the fourth and fifth planets lie countless asteroids. In 2021, NASA launched the spacecraft LUCY to explore some asteroids near Jupiter. LUCY has now entered the asteroid belt. Two days ago (November 1, 2023), it accidentally discovered a super cute asteroid, only half a mile in size, named Dinkinesh (meaning "wonderful" in Ethiopian). This "little wonder," despite its small size, is accompanied by a tiny moon, only 220 meters in size. LUCY is an ancient fossil discovered by humans tracing their roots in Ethiopia. The profound meaning behind naming this spacecraft LUCY is to conduct archaeological research in the asteroid belt and study the ancient history of the planets in our solar system.
