DART mission reveals surprising findings about asteroid Dimorphos.

Two teams of astronomers have released images of the aftermath of NASA's DART spacecraft's collision with Dimorphos, a small asteroid, taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope. The ejected cloud of debris from the asteroid appeared more blue than the space rock itself, indicating that Dimorphos is composed of fine particles. The images will help scientists understand the success of the DART mission in great detail and learn more about the composition of asteroids like Dimorphos, as well as have a better idea of how to respond if an asteroid ever looks to be Earthbound.
