Eurobyte Asteroid Occultation

After a long day, all kinds of difficulties and temperatures of -0.5c. I am very happy to report that the search for the asteroid Eurybates was a success.

The cooperation with Recon to collect data for NASA's Lucy mission is amazing.

No other space mission in history has launched to so many different destinations in independent orbits around our Sun. Lucy will show us, for the first time, the diversity of the primordial bodies that built the planets.

Knowing that I have been able to contribute my grain of sand to this effort makes me proud.
