@astro7e: DART was a joint project between NASA and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The project was funded through NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, managed by NASA's Planetary Missions Program, with the Italian Space Agency contributing with the LICIACube, a CubeSat which photographed the impact event 🛰️ #astro7e #Astronomy #astronomytok #space #spacetok #dartmission #nasadart #asteroid #asteroidimpact
In future news dimorphos collided with an unkown planet and wiped out the planets ecosystem and all life.

That’s fascinating, but judging by the “quality” of some of the comments here, I’m not entirely sure that humanity is worth saving

Man it is amazing how people can make a machine that not only can go into space, but can travel so far and hit an object. Like I don't even want to know the math involved

this was always theoretically an option which is why asteroid movies have always been a silly concept. it's like saying ur doomed bc of a cut on your finger. it COULD be bad but we have solutions

I give up :
We would likely detect an asteroid on a collision course years in advance. Even just a tiny tweak to its orbit with a strike like this would cause it to completely miss the earth.

So did it change the trajectory enough that we would consider earth saved if its original trajectory was towards us?

Htf did they have enough fuel to go 7 million miles? Honest question.

Once it gets big enough we can’t do anything, and never will be able to do anything

I know transportation of explosives or even nuclear bombs out of the atmosphere is extremely dangerous, but would that work too for bigger asteroids?

could you imagine that, hit at about 7 times the speed of a 🔫 with perfect accuracy.
fire a bullet from earth and 10 months later hits a small target. insane
