The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope both managed to capture detailed images of the impact of the planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It is the first time that Webb and Hubble have simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
NASA's planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) concluded earlier this week and the first photos taken by a small “mini photographer” spacecraft called the LICIACube have been published.
NASA has successfully crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos. The first time ever that Earth has demonstrated planetary defense technology.
NASA is set to intentionally crash its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos tonight, and thanks to a , viewers on earth will be able to watch the first-ever planetary defense test in through a dedicated livestream.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the world's first planetary defense test mission and it has deployed a smaller "mini photographer" spacecraft that will record all of the details of its planned impact with an asteroid.
