Surprise! The Lucy Spacecraft flew by the asteroid Dinkinesh and found it's actually two asteroids. The team's best guess is that the larger one is about 0.5 miles (790 m) at its widest, while the smaller one is about 0.15 miles (220 m) wide. 🔭 www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

An image of asteroid Dinkinesh, a pair of grey asteroids with a slightly jagged surface, taken from the Lucy spacecraft. One of the asteroids is much larger than the other.
