NASA's DART Mission Alters Asteroid Moon's Shape and Orbit


• NASA's DART mission successfully altered the orbit and shape of the asteroid moon Dimorphos by crashing a spacecraft into it.

• Dimorphos, initially shaped like a hamburger, transformed into a football-like shape, challenging previous theories about asteroid moon formation.

• The impact caused Dimorphos to 'tumble' unpredictably, providing valuable insights for planetary defense against potential asteroid or comet collisions.
