So, what's with these asteroids?
They are trapped in the stable L4 & L5 Lagrange points on Jupiters orbit
about 60 degrees either side of Jupiter as seen from the sun.
What the Lucy mission is looking for or what they will find?
Material that has been trapped there since the last great bombardment or possibly even before that. Hopefully some nearly pristine solar system
material to analyse. I hope they have a stable isotope ratio capability
on the probe since that will shed light on where it first condensed.
