Here's what scientists have now learned about the DART mission.
When NASA’s DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, it did more than change the asteroid’s local orbit — it slightly shifted the path of the entire asteroid pair ...
Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to hit the moon in 2032, is now expected to safely miss the lunar surface by about 13,000 miles, according to recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope ...
New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by diverting their orbits.
