New images captured by NASA's Lucy spacecraft confirmed that the small main belt asteroid Dinkinesh is a binary, two asteroids that orbit a common center of mass. The SwRI-led mission will now fly by 11 asteroids in its 12-year mission to Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. Dinkinesh was meant to be the first asteroid that Lucy flew by but ended up being the first two.

Endeavour assembly at Science Center starts with lifting 52-ton rockets into place
Saturday, 04 November 2023 17:50
The space shuttle Endeavour's twin giant rockets will be hoisted by crane next week and affixed into place atop the craft's aft skirts in a first step of assembling a full-stack configuration of the shuttle at the future Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center.
The two solid rocket motors—each weighing 104,000 pounds and the size of a Boeing 757 fuselage—were transported by truck in early October from Mojave Air and Space Port to the science center in South Los Angeles.
"It's actually pretty exciting. This is the first big tall pieces of the stack going into the building," California Science Center President Jeffrey Rudolph said. Each solid rocket motor measures 116 feet and makes up most of the length of the 149-foot solid rocket boosters. At liftoff, the white solid rocket boosters were set underneath Endeavour's wings and produced more than 80% of the lift during takeoff.
On Monday, the motors will be moved from their current location—next to the museum's dining terraces—a few hundred feet closer to the construction site.
The first significant action begins Tuesday, when the science center will lift the first solid rocket motor into place.
