It all starts with a curiosity; The journey of the Lucy probe.

Jupiter is known as the savior of the Earth, and no wonder, it is a great “magnet” of asteroids and has more than 1 million trapped, more than 1 million of more than 1 km in diameter trapped in its orbit, they are not small, NASA's Lucy spacecraft aims to study this type of asteroids because some of them, in addition to being rare, may be remains left over from the origin of the solar system, there may also be some that are not from the solar system.

There is a study that analyzes a very rare asteroid that is also in the orbit of Jupiter but that orbits in the opposite direction from all the others and the analysis that this study did is that it was an interstellar asteroid captured by the solar system and that is possibly older than the Sun itself and was not a small asteroid, it would have between one and four 5 to 5 km in diameter.

The Lucy probe goes to these asteroids, it goes to the Greek camp of the Trojan asteroids, this Trojan thing is because of the issue of the Trojan War. When they began to discover asteroids in the orbit of Jupiter, the astronomers named them after the heroes of the Trojan War. The problem is that they quickly ran out of names. There weren't that many heroes. They began to find a lot of asteroids and as I mentioned, there are more than 1 million Trojan asteroids in the orbit of Jupiter. 1 km in diameter.

Those who are ahead are called Greeks or the Greek camp and those who are behind Jupiter circling the sun are called Trojans or the Trojan camp would be the really Trojans if we continue with this terminology from the Trojan War, it will visit several of these asteroids and specifically after several years it will be in orbit within approximately 6 years in a stable orbit for a possible mission to look for new asteroids to visit.
