Asteroid Dimorphos

The Hera spacecraft has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, embarking on an international mission to study the asteroid Dimorphos, which was altered in course by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022. Expected to reach its target by December 2026, Hera will examine the impact crater left by the DART mission and deploy two ...

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) deliberately crashed into the pyramid-sized asteroid Dimorphos roughly 11 million kilometres from Earth.

The collision between the asteroid Dimorphos and DART spacecraft generated a massive debris field, estimated to be around 2 million pounds of rocks and dust.

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was devised to determine our capacity to redirect a potentially threatening asteroid away from Earth.

According to an analysis of a collision between NASA's DART probe and the asteroid Dimorphos back in September 2022, the tiny asteroid's shape could have changed significantly as a direct result of the impact.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Hubble Space Telescope captured a series of photos of asteroid Dimorphos when it was deliberately hit by a 1,200-pound NASA spacecraft called DART on September 26, 2022, according to their statement. Hubble's time-lapse movie of the aftermath of DART's collision reveals surprising and remarkable, hour...

NASA has announced that the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) Mission that crashed a spacecraft into asteroid Dimorphos successfully altered its orbit around parent asteroid Didymos by 32 minutes. According to the US space agency, the target of the test was a minimum successful orbit period change of Dimorphos as change of 73 seconds or more....

Two of NASA's space telescopes - James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope - have captured views of the DART spacecraft intentionally smashing into an asteroid earlier this week.

NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid was successful on Tuesday. The US space agency is attempting to deflect the asteroid Dimorphos off its trajectory. Here's what the images shared by NASA after the impact with the asteroid can tell us about the successful DART mission, which is part of the ...

NASA launched its DART spacecraft in November 2021 with the express purpose of colliding with an asteroid

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission to deflect the asteroid Dimorphos could help the world prepare for a possible asteroid Armageddon similar to the one that caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. Dimorphos orbits a larger 780-metre asteroid called Didymos. Unlike the 10-kilometre diameter dinosaur-killing asteroid that hit Earth, b...

NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will attempt to alter the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, on September 26. The US space agency is set to create history when it crashes a spacecraft into the asteroid, attempting to deflect it from its trajectory. A tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos, the asteroid Dimorphos is an ideal target for NA...

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crash into asteroid Dimorphos at 24,000 kilometres per hour on September 26. Launched from Earth in November 2021, DART is about the size of a bus and was created to test and prove our ability to defend the Earth from a dangerous asteroid.

American Space Agency NASA has built a spacecraft which will intentionally crash into a small asteroid named Dimorphos.
