A new study shows that, not only did the agency’s 2022 DART mission shift the orbit of the moonlet Dimorphos, it also changed the path of its parent asteroid around the sun.

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

The bad news: The miss means scientists won't get a rare natural experiment to collect data on a large asteroid strike. Telescopes and spacecraft could have otherwise watched the impact flash and ...
