NASA's double asteroid diversion test
On September 29, 2022 local time, the European Space Agency released a combination of pictures showing the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope images taken 22 minutes, 5 hours and 8.2 hours after NASA's Double Asteroid Diversion Test (DART) intentionally impacted the Double Asteroid System Didymos, showing the expanding plume ejected from the asteroid body. This is the world's first demonstration of planetary defense technology, using a spacecraft to deflect the asteroid by changing its orbit. Hubble's photographs show that the ejecta produced by the impact extends out of the asteroid's body in the form of rays. On the left side of the asteroid, the thicker sector projectile is the approximate direction in which DART approaches. Using Hubble's photos, astronomers estimated that the brightness of the double asteroid system, Didymos, increased 3-fold after the impact.
