If you're one of the scant few people who will be able to clap eyes on this baby as she heads out on her 375,000,000-mile journey — do please whip out your phone and get a video!
NASA's Lucy spacecraft will skirt Earth, coming within just a few hundred miles of us on its journey to the far-off Jupiter Trojan asteroids.
The spacecraft will pass 220 miles above Earth's surface on Sunday morning, according to a news release from NASA.
And some lucky observers will be able to spot Lucy from Earth, says NASA.
The asteroid-hopping spacecraft will be visible from western Australia at around 6:55 AM EST. But it'll pass out of view after a few minutes. At 7:26 AM EST, it should be visible in the western United States – assuming the skies are clear and sky-gazers have a decent pair of binoculars.
Just to emphasize what a monumental achievement even this little flyby is, note that, per NASA, "Lucy's path runs through a cloud of over 6,000 Earth-orbiting satellites, and about 20 times as many bits of inactive debris."
