Easter Sunday certainly won't be a day of rest for the astronomy community. All eyes will be on NASA's asteroid-studying Lucy spacecraft, which is due to have a close encounter at 1:51 p.m. EDT (1751 GMT) on April 20, 2025. Launched in 2021, Lucy is on a 12-year journey to the orbit of Jupiter, during which the probe will perform flybys of eight Trojan asteroids in a quest to learn about the origins of the solar system, searching for elements that could spark the rise of life.

Texas A&M researcher Michael Tice and a team of international scientists have revealed new clues about Mars' potential to have supported life, thanks to data collected by NASA's Perseverance rover.
