NASA's DART Spacecraft Causes Global Deformation to Asteroid Dimorphos: Study Findings

Broke On: Wednesday, 28 February 2024 A new study suggests that NASA's DART spacecraft may have caused significant deformation to the asteroid Dimorphos, which was intentionally hit during a planetary defense test. The impact led to reshaping and resurfacing of the object, with estimates suggesting its cohesive strength is less than a few pascals. The European Space Agency plans a follow-up mission called Hera to study changes made to Dimorphos.
