Analysis of data obtained over the past two weeks by NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) investigation team shows the spacecraft's kinetic impact with its target asteroid, Dimorphos, successfully altered the asteroid's orbit. This...

Earth now has its first line of defense against potentially deadly asteroids. Earth now has a capable defense system against Asteroids that could impact Earth in the future without needing Bruce Willis and a drilling team.

Until the 21st century, humanity's capability to defend itself against asteroids, comets, and other nefarious space junk was to make some cheesy Hol...

Spacecraft hit Dimorphos in planetary defence test, shortened space rock's orbit time by 32 minutes

This marks humanitys first time purposely changing the motion of a celestial object and the first full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology.Afte

We now have confirmation that NASA can deflect a threatening near-Earth asteroid. But this is just one experiment.

NASA announced Tuesday that its DART mission has successfully accomplished its goal: It moved the moonlet Dimorphos into a shorter orbit around its parent, Didymos.
