Dimorphos is probably a piece of Didymos
Last September, NASA purposefully smashed a spacecraft into Dimorphos, a 160m-wide space rock orbiting a larger asteroid named Didymos. The goal of the mission, called DART (the Double Asteroid Redirection Test), was to demonstrate humanity's ability.....»»
After DART smashed into Dimorphous, what happened to the larger asteroid Didymos?
NASA's DART mission (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) slammed into asteroid Dimorphos in September 2022, changing its orbital period. Ground and space-based telescopes turned to watch the event unfold, not only to study what happened to the asteroid.....»»
Unistellar citizen science network and SETI Institute contribute to planetary defense
Citizen scientists worldwide made decisive contributions to defend our planet by recording accurate and meaningful observations supporting the NASA DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. The team, including eight SETI Institute astronomers.....»»
Early results from NASA"s DART mission
Since NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft intentionally slammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos on Sept. 26—altering its orbit by 33 minutes—the investigation team has been digging into the implications of how this plane.....»»
Where should we impact an asteroid to effectively deflect its orbit?
Recently, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into a 170 m asteroid Dimorphos at 6.6 km/s, as the first on-orbit demonstration of deflecting an asteroid by kinetic impact. The DART spacecraft was set to impact the center.....»»
Stop audience hijacking and defend against redirection to malicious websites
The holidays are just around the corner, and the competition for consumer attention and dollars promises to be fierce. According to Akamai research, up to 20% of potential online retail customers have their shopping experience disrupted – or worse,.....»»
Experiment helps predict effects of DART impact
On September 26, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into Dimorphos, a moonlet of the near-Earth asteroid Didymos, at 14,000 miles per hour. Prior to the impact, Southwest Research Institute engineers and scientists perf.....»»
NASA"s Hubble spots twin tails in new image after DART impact
Two tails of dust ejected from the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system are seen in new images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, documenting the lingering aftermath of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact......»»
Method for decoding asteroid interiors could help aim asteroid-deflecting missions
NASA hit a bullseye in late September with DART, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, which flew a spacecraft straight at the heart of a nearby asteroid. The one-way kamikaze mission smashed into the stadium-sized space rock and successfully reset t.....»»
Post-impact images of DART mission have not disappointed
