NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impacted the 'moonlet' Dimorphos in the Didymos asteroid system. NASA's Hubble ...

The spacecraft slowed down the system's 76,000 mph orbital speed... by two inches per hour. We're going to have to punch a lot harder if we want to save Earth.

The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.

NASA’s DART mission proved that a spacecraft can nudge an asteroid system in space, offering a real test of planetary defense. NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft changed the ...

You gotta start somewhere, and in this case astroboffins would have been nowhere without help from intrepid volunteers NASA has published new analysis of its 2022 planetary defense test that suggests ...

Continued study of the 2022 mission which slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid found a small, but growing change in orbit around the Sun.

Nasa has been reporting on its first Earth defence mission - when they crashed a spaceship into a meteor to see if they could bash it away, if they needed to.

Toward the end of last year, a comet shattered into pieces as it hurtled through the Solar System. By the "slimmest of ...

New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by diverting their orbits.

Every child, at least once in their life, has been admonished to not stare at the sun for so long lest they go blind. But ...

NASA’s DART mission precisely measured changes in asteroid Dimorphos’ orbit and the Didymos system’s heliocentric motion using radar, stellar occultations and space observations.
