NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (2025-04-25): Asteroid Donaldjohanson
Main belt asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson is about 8 kilometers long and 3.5 kilometers across. On April 20, this sharp close-up of the asteroid was captured at a distance of about 1100 kilometers by the Lucy spacecraft's long range camera during its second asteroid encounter. Named after American paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson, discoverer of the Lucy hominid fossil, the elongated asteroid was likely formed about 150 million years ago from a gentle collision of two smaller bodies creating its characteristic contact binary shape. Launched in October of 2021, the Lucy spacecraft will continue its travels through the main asteroid belt in 2025, but is on its way to explore Jupiter's swarm of Trojan asteroids. Lucy is expected to encounter its first Trojan asteroid target, 3548 Eurybates, in August 2027.

🚨 **Space Weather Alert: CME**
📅 **Date**: 2025-04-24
🕒 **Time**: 14:24Z UTC
📖 **Description**: CME first seen to the South in SOHO LASCO C2 beginning at 2024-04-24T14:24Z, as well as by SOHO LASCO C3 and STEREO A COR2 in later frames. The source of this event is a Southern deflected eruption from AR 4065 (S31W22) beginning at approx. 24/13:34Z. This eruption and subsequent Southern dimming can be seen in SDO AIA 171, 193 and 211. This deflection is likely due to the Active Region's proximity to a large positive polarity coronal hole.
