NASA's Lucy launched on a mission to visit 8 of Jupiter's Trojan asteroids, more asteroids than any mission in history. But one of Lucy's two solar panels failed to fully deploy and latch into place. The Trojan asteroids are located in Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrangian points. Lucy will fly past 7 Trojan asteroids and one main belt asteroid on a 12-year mission to understand the formation of our solar system.
