Congrats to the #DARTMission team for receiving the Space Achievement Award last night at #SpaceSymposium ! Thanks to their commitment to #PlanetaryDefense , this team added a new innovative technique to our tool belt in protecting our planet!

Happy anniversary #DARTMission – Wow, time flies!

Last year our team turned science fiction into a reality by demonstrating the world’s first planetary defense technique that could one day be used to prevent an impact by a hazardous asteroid.

Great weekend at #Astrofest2023 ! #DARTMission #esa #Hera

Starting #LPSC2023 with a bang… #DARTmission

Last year, NASA's #DARTMission made history and confirmed that deflection technology can be an effective way to change the orbit of an asteroid, should there ever be a threat. Today's issue of @nature has DART on the cover & includes 5 papers on the science:

Le réseau scientifique citoyen Unistellar a capturé avec succès l'impact de la sonde DART sur Dydimos. Très heureux d'avoir pu participer depuis mon jardin normand Ville de Caen Normandie Tourisme #DARTMission #asteroide nature

TFW you sell two prints of your DART mission painting, think the buyer’s name seems vaguely familiar, and Google tells you they’re one of the co-investigators of the #DARTmission 😱😱😱 Johns Hopkins APL NASA #spaceart #spaceart ist #watercolor #watercolor art #asteroid Astronomical Art

We received a wonderful relay baton 🏃🏼‍♀️from the #DARTmission team. We have put it in the center of our office as daily reminder of this unique collaboration. Just love my AIDA family so much ❤️

Analysis from NASA #DARTMission found the impact caused an instantaneous slowing in asteroid Dimorphos’ speed along its orbit of about 2.7 millimeters per second — again indicating the recoil from ejecta played a major role in amplifying the momentum nasa.gov/feature/nasa-s…

Our #DARTMission proved that a kinetic impactor could deflect a hazardous asteroid should one ever be on a collision course with Earth. Now a study led by NASA JPL shows that this test not only changed the motion of a small asteroid but also its shape! nasa.gov/missions/dart/…

New science results confirm our #DARTMission 's asteroid deflection technology can be an effective way to change the orbit of an asteroid, should there ever be a threat. The DART spacecraft intentionally slammed into asteroid Dimorphos in Sept. 2022: go.nasa.gov/3YbKyBS

The 2024 #NASAPiDayChallenge has entered orbit! Get ready for 🥧 #PiDay , March 14, with four new brain teasers, including 'Daring Deflection,' which challenges you to calculate the new orbit of asteroid Dimorphos after the #DARTMission impacted it jpl.nasa.gov/edu/nasapidayc…

Anuncio con los primeros artículos con resultados de DART/NASA.
Un gran éxito del team #DARTMission

Perhaps #DARTMission 's most coveted recognition.

And we’re underway at Astronomy on Tap ⁦DC9⁩ with Nancy Chabot talking about how #DartMission intentionally destroyed government property by crashing into an asteroid 😆

A year ago today, the #DARTMission successfully changed the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, and Lucy was lucky enough to watch! This false color image shows Lucy's view of the debris cloud. Data collected from this #PlanetaryDefense test mission is still teaching new things!

We looked at the #DARTmission impact with the ESO Very Large Telescope - first papers out now eso.org/public/news/es…

Thomas Zurbuchen NASA Solar System NASA Astrobiology: Exploring Life in the Universe Astrobiology Really looking forward to the #drsgonfly mission that I first learned about visiting Johns Hopkins APL during the #dartmission ! #nasasocial

One year ago today the #DARTMission crashed into asteroid Dimorphos. This image was taken by the accompanying LICIACube spacecraft and shows ejecta streaming out after the impact.
