Today's Bad Astronomy Newsletter covers a bunch of news from NASA's DART mission, which whacked an asteroid back in 2022. Very cool stuff including streaks on the asteroid moon's surface, the plume generated, and how the orbit of the binary pair changed!
Way too much DART news
The NASA spacecraft hit the moon Dimorphos, but that yanked the whole system hard enough to measure. Also, the plume was modeled in 3D, and the bigger asteroid is spitting rocks at its moon. So yeah, a lot.
