Yall! The DART mission has successfully impacted the astroid Dimorphos! This is the first time human spacecraft has altered the path of a celestial body!
We yeeted a spacecraft into an astroid for science to test deflection technology.
Science is neat!

நாசாவின் DART பணியானது The dart mission loaded the boulders பாறாங்கற்களின் கூட்டத்தை விண்வெளியில் ஏற்றியது!
கடந்த ஆண்டு ஒரு சிறிய (The dart mission loaded the boulders) சிறுகோள் மீது ஒரு ஆய்வு மோதியபோது, மோதல் சிறுகோளின் சுற்றுப்பாதையை மாற்றுவதை விட அதிகமாக செய்தது.

Aaand…Part 2 of my #nasasocial experience has landed! (see what I did there? 😄) click the link in my bio to see the folks I met and the things we saw. I encourage you to apply to attend a future event! #DARTMission #planetarydefense https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTKZz0ubGx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ANOTHER INVADER IS COMING
NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), the first mission to test defense technology against potential hazards from asteroids or comets.
NASA’s DART spacecraft began a 10-month journey into space on a mission to demonstrate the world's first planetary defense system. It is designed to deflect an asteroid from a potential doomsday collision with Earth.
NASA's DART has already confirmed the target: the binary asteroid 65803 Didymos, Dimorphos, to test how the impact thrust of a spacecraft could successfully deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
The spacecraft will intercept the Didymos system between September 26 and October 1, 2022, intentionally crashing into Dimorphos at about six kilometers per second.
Scientists estimate that the kinetic impact will shorten Dimorphos' orbit around Didymos by several minutes.
The DART, will crash into the asteroid Dimorphos, which orbits a larger asteroid named Didymos, next month. Scientists say neither asteroid is headed toward Earth, but Dimorphos, an estimated 520 feet long, is an asteroid that could cause significant damage if it were to hit Earth, NASA says
It is extremely important for us to develop more and more technology to save Earth from asteroids, comets and other invaders from outer space.

NASA's New Spacecraft Discovery: DART Mission to Protect Earth from Asteroids
NASA's New Spacecraft Discovery: DART Mission to Protect Earth from Asteroids. #dartmission #sciencenews #googlenews
DART Mission- NASA’s New Spacecraft Discovery, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will help protect Earth from potentially devastating impact of asteroid by altering the course of deadly asteroids. It is the DART spacecraft, launched on the 23rd of November 2021, will aim at the asteroid Didymos which is closely orbited by the smaller asteroid Dimorphos.
Its DART satellite is…

Publican video de observatorio astronómico donde se ve el impacto de DART contra asteroide
Para los que no creen en la ciencia
Un fantástico video grabado desde la Tierra gracias tomas del observatorio astronómico ATLAS donde se aprecia el impacto de la sonda espacial DART de la NASA contra el asteroide Dimorphos este lunes 26 de septiembre.
Así impactó la sonda espacial #DARTMIssion de la @NASA contra el asteroide Dimorphos, ubicado a 11,3 millones de kilómetros de distancia.#DART viajaba a una velocidad de…
