When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's ...

There are currently no known asteroids on an impact course with the planet. Still, scientists are keeping a watchful eye on ...

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid.

In the almost three years since NASA proved that it could successfully deflect an asteroid, we’ve learned a lot about these ...

Scientists found that NASA's DART spacecraft ejected a massive barrage of boulders when it bashed into asteroid Dimorphos in ...

MA90 is set to fly past the Earth on Tuesday, July 15. With an estimated diameter of 88.8 meters, that comes out to around 145 Elmos, thanks to measurements taken by Drew Brees.

When NASA’s DART spacecraft collided with a small asteroid moon in late 2022, the impact made history. It was the first ...

The 1,260-pound Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, or DART, collided with the estimated 11-billion-pound, 520-foot-long asteroid Dimorphos at 14,000 mph about 7 million miles from Earth ...

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, is the world’s first attempt to change an asteroid’s motion by ramming a space probe into it (SN: 6/30/20). Neither Dimorphos nor Didymos poses a ...

The mission culminates a 10-month-long journey for DART, which cost $325 million. The asteroid orbits a larger one named Didymos, and the two were chosen because they don't pose any threat to Earth.

The sixth space rock ever seen in detail. DART is aiming for the 520-foot-wide (160 meters) asteroid Dimorphos, which is orbiting a larger, 2,560-foot-wide (780 m) asteroid called Didymos.
