DART asteroid collision, LICIACube image
LICIACube image of the asteroid Didymos (larger) and its moonlet Dimorphos (smaller). The image was taken a few minutes after the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft deliberately impacted with Dimorphos in a test of whether such an impact would deflect an asteroid heading towards Earth. Image taken by the Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube) on 26th September 2022., by ASI/NASA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
