hello beautiful people happy Friday Eve
it's Thursday November 2nd I'm koi this
is CNN 10 where we tell you the what
letting you decide what to think I've
got some great stories for you today but
first let's talk about the holidays
Halloween is over people are getting
into the spirit the spirit of spending
the holidays are an important time for
retailers many of them rely on spending
in November and December for as much as
1/5th of their annual sales or more and
according to a new survey from deoe
holiday spending may bounce back big
time and even surpass pre-pandemic
levels even though Shoppers face ongoing
inflation and some are paying off
student loans for the first time in
years Shoppers are expected to drop an
average of about $1,600 for Holiday
related purchases that's 14% more than
last year but the survey says many
consumers are expecting to receive half
as many gifts as they did a few years
ago due to Rising costs the majority of
people who responded to the survey also
said they do their shopping after
Thanksgiving to make the most of Black
Friday and cyber monday deals but let's
all remember that we don't need to
stress this holiday season the focus
should be on family friends and loved
ones we can buy a new watch but we can't
buy time we can buy a whole house but we
can't buy a home this holiday season
isn't about the gifts we receive or the
money we spend it's about the moments we
make now Pop Quiz Hot Shot 10c trivia
which of these names has not been used
for a NASA Mission uclid Galileo Kepler

tmy tmy was an Egyptian astronomer
mathematician and geographer born around

for any NASA
missions Lucy I'm home a famous line
from the 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy Lucy
is also the name of another NASA Mission
but this Lucy is far from home the
mission launched in October of 2021 but
yesterday Lucy reached its first Target
an ancient asteroid called dinkes from a
distance of about 265 miles Lucy
gathered images and data about the
asteroid which has only ever appeared as
a smudge in telescopes Lucy will be
NASA's first mission to fly past ancient
asteroids around Jupiter left over from
the early days of our solar system it's
expected to take 12 years total and cost
a lot of money the launch alone cost
about $148 million Lucy isn't expected
to reach its next Target until April of
2025 here's CNN's Kristen fiser with
more details about this historic mission
three two one liftoff Atlas 5 takes
flight the NASA spacecraft is on a
12year mission covering 6.4 billion
kilometers to fly past eight ancient
asteroids Lucy's the first mission to
investigate the Trojan asteroid swarms
which are asteroid clusters along
Jupiter's orbital path armed with
cameras a thermometer and an infrared
Imaging spectrometer Lucy will collect
the first highresolution images of these
asteroids the spacecraft gets her name
from the the Lucy fossil an ancient
human ancestor whose remains transformed
the study of homed evolution NASA hopes
its Lucy transforms the understanding of
the evolution of the solar system after
making a few flybys of Earth for a
gravity slingshot boost Lucy's expected
to reach her first objective in the
asteroid belt between Earth and Jupiter
she'll then travel to the Trojan
asteroids all named after the heroes of
Homer zad the power of what Lucy is able
to do by having so many targets we can
construct all these comparisons between
all the different varieties and the
diversity that we see in the Trojans the
unexpected diversity the different
colors the different collisional
histories it's really a repository of uh
fossils as we like to say of things that
happened at the earliest stages of solar
system evolution is powered by two giant
solar arrays that will expand outward
like Chinese folding f F they'll carry
Lucy farther away from the Sun than any
other solar powerered
spacecraft Lucy will never return to
Earth but she won't be the last to visit
the asteroids NASA plans to send more
China and Russia are teaming up on an
asteroid mission in 2024 and the UAE in
2028 Kristen fiser
