New study provides insights into the geophysics behind asteroid formation and evolution. A University of Maryland-led study reveals new details about asteroid dynamics following NASA’s DART mission, which intentionally collided with the asteroid moon Dimorphos in 2022. The impact significantly altered Dimorphos’ trajectory and shape, leading to unexpected gravitational behaviors. These findings challenge previous assumptions [...]from SciTechDaily https://ift.tt/UAWEsHw
