The first flight mission for planetary defense, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) seeks to validate a method to ...

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 ...

A chance encounter with another asteroid could steer Apophis destructively close to Earth during a future passage.

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

The 2022 NASA mission saw one of the agency’s spacecraft deliberately collide with and reshape a small moonlet named Dimorphos, which orbited the much larger asteroid Didymos. The project ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
