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

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

NASA's DART spacecraft attempted to deflect an asteroid about the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. New work tracking the debris has found a few fairly large surprises.

When NASA steered its Dart probe into an asteroid, it was supposed to determine how much it could be deflected. The ...

NASA's DART spacecraft unintentionally triggered a massive boulder ejection upon impacting asteroid moon Dimorphos, ...

NASA's asteroid-deflection strategy, demonstrated by the DART mission, encountered a complication as large boulders were ejected into space post-impact.

How does a planetary defense mission intended to push an asteroid off course manage to release a torrent of boulders with the same momentum as the spacecraft? NASA’s groundbreaking experiment, the ...

NASA successfully crashed the DART spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos in a one-way mission to redirect its orbit as part of a planetary defense test on Monday night. The DART was used as a ...
