@Rixster01 @SweetPinkTeas @nasahqphoto @ulalaunch @NASAKennedy @SpaceForceDoD @NASASolarSystem @NASA_LSP You're absolutely right! The #LucyMission takes its name from the fossilized human ancestor (called “Lucy” by her discoverers) whose skeleton provided insight into humanity's evolution. The Lucy mission hopes to revolutionize our knowledge of the formation of the solar system. — PolitiTweet.org

Lucy's gigantic solar arrays stretch out like a paper fan to 24 feet, or 7.3 meters. The arrays allow the spacecraft to travel farther from the Sun than any other solar-powered spacecraft to date, explains @LockheedMartin engineer Katie Oakman. #LucyMission https://t.co/PUloJ7zM68 — PolitiTweet.org

@garfieldfan21 😊 It's fun to say but that's actually what it is! Lucy is carrying an artificial diamond that will split light beams in its far-infrared spectrometer instrument. Splitting the light will help scientists determine the temperature and surface properties of an asteroid. — PolitiTweet.org

@ckaiserca @Dr_ThomasZ We're hoping they're full of evidence of our planetary origin and formation of our solar system! But funny enough, each asteroid is named after a hero of the Trojan war.☄️ Find out more: https://t.co/e2rlyk6HcV — PolitiTweet.org

🤔 Did Mars ever look like Earth? We think it did! Ancient Mars may have been wetter & warmer — similar to our home planet. So what happened? Scientists like Dr. Becky McCauley Rench are trying to find out. Keep up with our @NASAMars exploration efforts: https://t.co/OHIcSktsVZ https://t.co/zKEmiwMRN3 — PolitiTweet.org

@DozerZone The Moon shines so bright because it reflects light coming from the Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different parts of it are lit up by the Sun, which gives us the different shapes from our view on Earth, these make up the "Moon phases."🌙 Learn more: https://t.co/tzgoc8B716 — PolitiTweet.org

@YJiden @NASAWebb 🚀 The rocket and launch services are part of @ESA's contribution to the mission, so liftoff will be from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana! This launch site is also near the equator, which is beneficial because the spin of the Earth can help give an additional push. — PolitiTweet.org

✅ Closer to launch! Our @NASAWebb Space Telescope has arrived in French Guiana for its scheduled Dec. 18 liftoff.
