On Nov. 1, NASA's Lucy spacecraft zoomed past this space rock, marking the first of several asteroid encounters the probe is designed to make.
On Nov. 2, project scientists with the Lucy mission announced the first flyby came with a surprise : Dinkinesh, or 'Dinky,' appears to be not one asteroid, but two. Lucy was able to observe that Dinkinesh is a binary system, meaning there is a small natural satellite in orbit around it.
NASA Telescopes Discover Record-Breaking Black Hole - NASA
Astronomers have discovered the most distant black hole yet seen in X-rays, using NASA telescopes. The black hole is at an early stage of growth that had never been witnessed before, where its mass is similar to that of its host galaxy.
By combining data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers was able to find the telltale signature of a growing black hole just 470 million years after the big bang.
NASA Finds Record-Breaking Black Hole Using 'Cosmic Magnifying Glass'
Astronomers found the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays (in a galaxy dubbed UHZ1) ... [+] using the Chandra and Webb telescopes. X-ray emission is a telltale signature of a growing supermassive black hole.
Astronomers using two NASA space telescopes have found one of the farthest black holes from the solar system using a rare alignment of galaxies to act as a magnifying glass.
