[Urdu/Hindi] Lucy Mission to Trojan Asteroids
from Kainaati Gup Shup with Salman Hameed · host Salman Hameed
There is a fantastic new mission to Trojan asteroids near Jupiter. It is called Lucy, named after the famous 3.2 million year old skeleton that has helped us understand human evolution. In the same way, Trojan asteroids may tell us about the origins of our Solar System. There have been other missions that have explored asteroids in the asteroid belt, near-Earth-orbits (NEO), and even in the Kuiper Belt. But this is the first one to the Trojan asteroids. These are rocks that are trapped in the Lagrange points (L4 and L5) of Jupiter. Please join astrophysicist Salman Hameed in exploring this mission and about the Lagrange points in this podcast.
