Dimorphos continues to puzzle scientists after NASA’s DART impact, raising new questions about asteroid behaviors and potential space interventions.

After the successful impact of NASA’s DART mission on the Dimorphos asteroid, scientists have encountered a series of unexpected outcomes, the latest being the unanticipated lengthening of the asteroid’s orbital period around its larger partner, Didymos.

NASA and its Indian counterpart are working to extend their cooperation in the final frontier, in the realms of human spaceflight and planetary defense.

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was successful as the small spacecraft changed the orbit of a distant asteroid, but now it's acting weird.

Darting Around Nearly a year ago, NASA successfully smashed an asteroid for the first time — but now, the asteroid in question is behaving strangely.
