Donaldjohanson as seen by NASA’s Lucy spacecraft from a range of about 2,700 km (1,700 miles), about 3.2 minutes before closest approach on April 20, 2025. The illumination conditions, with the Sun almost behind Lucy, greatly reduce the contrast of topographic details. Image credit: NASA / Goddard / SwRI / Johns Hopkins APL.
