Surprised we didn't already have a thread. DART launched successfully at 0621 UTC today (23 Nov 21). Mission page here, encounter (as in collision) with small satellite of 65803 Didymos in late Sep/early Oct 2022.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

That's a brilliant montage Daniele!, thanks for your time composing it
It's easy to forget that the reconnaissance of the asteroids in our solar system is fairly well-advanced these days. Psyche and Lucy will really add to our knowledge in the next decade. I feel really lucky to be along for the ride in this era of discovery. On the year I was born (1967), we had some pretty decent images of the moon, and that was about it. |

So we wouldn't have more pictures of Didymos? :- / I tried to compare Didymos ad DimorphoS with other recently visited asteroids: http://mondialieni.altervista.org/asteroid...a_Bianchino.png That's a brilliant montage Daniele!, thanks for your time composing it It's easy to forget that the reconnaissance of the asteroids in our solar system is fairly well-advanced these days.

I wonder if a momentary ring of debris like Chariklo can form around the system! :-) or fantasy? >, |
