NASA telescopes capture views of asteroid strike

NASA said on Thursday that two of its Great Observatories captured the effects of Monday’s strike on Dimorphos. The Dart spacecraft rammed the distant asteroid in an unprecedented test to see if a potentially menacing space rock could be knocked off course. (Sept. 29)

Note that in real life no he-man oil-riggers like Bruce Willis are needed
Just geeks with calculators.

AP what the heck is going on with your descriptions lately?

The irony is if they actually diverted the asteroid to earth.

Terrible part is, this asteroid was going to MISS us until Dart slammed into it. Now it's on a collision course with Chicago.

Rocks should be dropped on humans for assaulting an innocent asteroid.

NASA did not strike that asteroid --NASA just started the War with another "Alien" planet. They will be here shortly 🤣

[wcoasttigger]

Have they confirmed if it changed its trajectory and or orbit of the larger one?
