Incredible New Video Shows Moment NASA Slammed Into An AsteroidThe bright white object at lower left is the asteroid Dimorphos. It has a blue dust tail extending diagonally to the upper right. A cluster of blue dots surrounds the asteroid. These are boulders that were knocked off the asteroid when, on 26 September 2022, NASA deliberately slammed the half-tonne DART impactor spacecraft into the asteroid as a test of what it would take to deflect some future asteroid from hitting Earth. Hubble photographed the slow-moving boulders in December 2022.Incredible New Video Shows Moment NASA Slammed Into An AsteroidThe bright white object at lower left is the asteroid Dimorphos.
