The spacecraft will be slamming into Dimorphos, a 160-meter chunk of rock orbiting Didymos, a larger asteroid measuring in at almost three-quarters of a kilometer.

The results show that X-rays could play an even bigger role than the initial shock wave itself, though more data needs to be gathered to form a comprehensive asteroid defense plan.

In this image made from a NASA livestream and taken from the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, asteroid Dimorphos is seen as the spacecraft flies toward it, Monday, Sept. 26, 2022.

The galactic slam occurred at a harmless asteroid 7 million miles (11.3 million kilometers) away, with the spacecraft named Dart plowing into the space rock at 14,000 mph (22,500 kph).

A NASA spacecraft rammed an asteroid at blistering speed Monday in an unprecedented dress rehearsal for the day a killer rock menaces Earth. The galactic grand slam occurred at a harmless asteroid ...

At the bare minimum, then, NASA’s ongoing planetary defense work should tick along as planned, with NEO Surveyor continuing to be funded, as well as its ground-based asteroid-questing telescopes.

Real-time footage of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) showed the moments before its demise on the surface of the rock Dimorphos. The fatal blow was intentional, an unusual premise ...

The galactic grand slam occurred at a harmless asteroid 7 million miles (9.6 million kilometers) away, with the spacecraft named Dart plowing into the small space rock at 14,000 mph (22,500 kph).
