  • Nasa has successfully crashed its Dart spacecraft into an asteroid.
    The American space agency was testing whether space rocks that might threaten Earth could be nudged out of the way. This is the first experiment of its kind by Nasa.
    The asteroid hit was not headed for the Earth, however scientist Dr Elena Adams said "earthlings should sleep better" knowing they had a planetary defence solution.

      This is nothing Comparing to what people will live like in about 500 Years ? the way Knowledge Technology has rapidly increased In the Passrf 100 Years what we are in for the next 500 Years tells its story all most. YET WITH NUCLEAR WAR HEADS ? These can Destroy the earth over 15 times. We could rid of it but out of fear it would be impossible. Russia Has as many Nuclear Missals or even More than America never mention all others. Things need to change with these top leaders elites Wealth trying to be Gods over civilization standing for a future . 1 Big Problem is when a person only reaches a certain age as very Educated skilled and power over millions becomes to realizes he is going to die soon beliving may be he might go to hell? What kind of Kaoss do you think this person will cause when it has its hands on that big red butten? How would the other normal one in control Stop it? well soo to speak but very Possible. Teach your children Wisely.

      Asteroid's path altered in NASA's first test of planetary defense system
      By Steve Gorman October 11, 2022 7:22 PM EDT
      "DART's celestial target was an egg-shaped asteroid named Dimorphos, roughly the size of a football stadium, that was orbiting a parent asteroid about five times bigger called Didymos once every 11 hours, 55 minutes.
      The test flight concluded with the DART impactor vehicle, no bigger than a refrigerator, slamming directly into Dimorphos at about 14,000 miles per hour (22,531 kph).
      Comparison of pre- and post-impact measurements of the Dimorphos-Didymos pair as one eclipses the other shows the orbital period was shortened to 11 hours, 23 minutes, with the smaller object bumped tens of meters closer to its parent."
      So a 32 min change when the predictions were 10 minutes and a 73 second change would have been considered a success.

    Also, the precision of the dead center targeting with its range and speed is breath taking.

      @@Diponty If it strikes off centre enough, yes, but if it strikes reasonably close to the centre it will slow it down more than affecting it's rotation. This important detail will be determined by observations over the next few weeks. How much change was there? We want to know to design future tests and eventually future deflection missions for asteroids that present a threat. There are a few asteroids out there that will need to be deflected sometime in the next hundred years or so. They might present a threat in ten years or so, they might take longer than that, but we need to be ready to deflect them or a large percentage of all life on Earth could be wiped out by an impact.
      This was the most important space mission ever, and we need to run more tests of this kind to refine the mathematical and technological resources required for an accurate asteroid deflection. One day we will _need_ such a mission to work.

    • @steveaustin2686

      The asteroid that was hit was Dimorphos, which orbits around the asteroid Didymos. Both asteroids orbit the Sun and are more than 3,000,000 miles away when they are closest to Earth. The Moon is 240,000 miles away for reference. The impactor from DART will slightly change the orbit of Dimorphos as it orbits Didymos. The predicted change is so small, 0.4 millimeters per second (roughly 1/63 an inch per second), that it will take weeks to determine how much it changed. Didymos orbit around the Sun won't really be affected at all. This was a small scale test to see if the simulations of an impact match the real world test.

      Trading with an expert trader is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trades.

    Heh, can you imagine . . . Everyone is sitting on the press and there is complete silence. Then someone asks: So what? Did It work? And one of the scientists will answer: We don't know. We missed.

    This is interesting and seems cool and everything. What if they diverted that asteroid to another planet that has intelligent life or caused some sort of chain reaction with bad effects. Or got the attention of aliens way out there, just saying lol.

      Do let me know which "planets that have intelligent life" exist here in out solar system, Kyle. Because besides Earth, there's none. And the nearest other star system is 4,2 LY away, which would take Dimorphos thousands of years to reach, if not millions. Not to mention, Dimorphos can't "escape" the solar system because it is itself a moon of Didymos, and it hasn't got enough velocity to escape Didymos' orbit

    Few previous missions or insane experiments like fueling clouds with electric shocks and salts for rainfall were insane. So, we don't know if it is devastated as well in the long run and if it is then how much?

      @@gutwadcarvis If you’re travelling towards an object and taking photos of it at regular intervals, then those photos are going to look like zoomed in versions of the original. And if the object you’re moving towards is a pile of rocks, then it’s going to look like a pile of rocks. That doesn’t mean anything.
