Watch: Effects Of DART's Collision With Asteroid, Captured By Webb And Hubble Space Telescopes
ABP NewsThe James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have once again enchanted the world with their mesmerising images. pic.twitter.com/XGpTsMg0Ab — NASA Webb Telescope September 29, 2022 The asteroid moved at a speed over three times faster than the original speed light Webb was designed to track, because of which observing DART's impact was a unique challenge for Webb. In Hubble's Images, Ejecta From Impact Appear As Rays Hubble captured observations of the binary asteroid system ahead of the impact, and then again 15 minutes after DART collided with Dimorphos. Earlier this week, @NASA intentionally crashed a spacecraft into Dimorphos, a non-threatening asteroid moonlet in the double-asteroid system of Didymos, in a test of planetary defense: https://t.co/pe2qeFDYoS pic.twitter.com/VQ5X1pQlEy — Hubble September 29, 2022 In Hubble's images, ejecta from the impact appear as rays stretching out from the body of the asteroid. Hubble, which captured 45 images in the time immediately before and following DART's impact with Dimorphos, plans to monitor the asteroid system 10 times over the next three weeks, in order to observe how the ejecta expands and fades over time.
