NASA's DART mission in 2022 dramatically altered an asteroid's orbit, potentially sending debris toward Earth and Mars, ...

You might think of asteroids as just rocks of various sizes floating around in space. But they’re vastly more complex than ...

which is part of a binary system as it orbits a larger asteroid named Didymos. Lots of incredible information has been gleaned from this impact already, and we just got a little more. According to ...

When NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft collided with an asteroid moon called Dimorphos in 2022, the ...

The test passed with flying colors: Dimorphos was pushed into a shorter orbit around its parent asteroid, Didymos. (Neither Dimorphos nor Didymos ever posed a threat to our planet; they were just ...

NASA's DART impact shifted an asteroid's orbit, creating debris that may reach Earth or Mars. ESA's Hera mission will ...

In Sept. 2022, NASA’s Double Asteroids Redirect Test (DART) intentionally collided with a tiny moonlet named Dimorphos, which orbited the asteroid Didymos, to test its asteroid deflection ...

Dimorphos, a small moon orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos, was chosen as the target. The impact did more than just change Dimorphos’s course, according to a professor of astronomy at the University ...

The study's researchers believe that Dimorphos may start to "tumble" chaotically in its attempts to move back into gravitational equilibrium with its parent asteroid named Didymos. "For the most ...
