Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft image of the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos. This image was taken from 68 kilometres from Dimorphos and 11 seconds before the spacecraft deliberately impacted with the moonlet in a test of whether such an impact would deflect an asteroid heading towards Earth. Image taken by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) on 26th September 2022. | |
