New observations show the aftermath of a spacecraft intentionally colliding with an asteroid
The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.
Earlier this week, the number of visible sunspots on our home star fell to zero for the first time in 1,335 days. This ...
A new study shows that, not only did the agency’s 2022 DART mission shift the orbit of the moonlet Dimorphos, it also changed the path of its parent asteroid around the sun.
NASA's DART mission didn’t just change the orbit of Dimorphos, the asteroid it hit. It changed the orbit of the larger Didymos around the sun.
Radiation from the sun may not just affect our planet's surface, but also influences material deep within the Earth. Samples of ancient magma from within the Earth have revealed certain chemical ...
New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by diverting their orbits.
