15094 Polymele is a P-type Jupiter L4 trojan asteroid approximately 21 km in diameter. It is a target of the Lucy mission with a close flyby planned to occur in September 2027. Stellar occultation events in 2022-2023 revealed that Polymele has a flattened shape and also a small satellite with a diameter of ~5 km, nicknamed "Shaun".
