Space Telescope Science Institut/ESA/NASA(NEW YORK) -- A "swarm of boulders" was sent careening into space after NASA successfully disrupted the orbit of an asteroid last year, according to the space agency. The Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, or DART, collided with Dimorphos, a small asteroid that is the moon of a bigger space rock, Didymos, at about 14,000 miles per hour. Not only did the test successfully change the trajectory of the orbit but about 37 boulders were shaken off the asteroid in images captured by the Hubble telescope, NASA said.
