A Powerful Recoil Effect Amplified NASA’s Asteroid Deflection Experiment

Composite image of the Didymos-Dimorphos system taken on November 30, showing its new ejecta tail. Scientists continue to dig into the results of NASA’s incredibly successful DART test to deflect a harmless asteroid. As the latest findings suggest, the recoil created by Dimorphos’ spitting debris explosion after impact was significant, further enhancing the spacecraft’s influence …
