I am working on Greece time for a few days, to call in to the last #HeraMission workshop before the spacecraft arrives at Didymos and sees what the #DARTMission has done: https://www.heramission.space/workshop-2026 .

Thanks go the organizers.

Workshop 2026 — Hera Mission

Had fun giving a talk about Planetary Defense (in general) and #DARTMission (specifically) on the @[email protected] tonight! Thanks to the engaged and friendly SRO crowd! I ended up serving as @[email protected]'s warmup act. :)

La mission DART a vraiment bousculé l’espace : l’astéroïde percuté par la NASA a carrément changé d’orbite autour du Soleil.

L'astéroïde dévié par la Nasa a changé d'orbite autour du Soleil

Il y a quatre ans, la Nasa faisait s'écraser un vaisseau sur un petit astéroïde pour tenter de dévier sa trajectoire, une manoeuvre digne d'un roman de science-fiction qui visait à apprendre comment protéger l'humanité d'une éventuelle menace future. Nommée Dart,

Big day for #DARTMission alums, as here’s some more work released today! Remember how we said that yes, we were technically also changing Didymos’s orbit around the Sun, but by a small, unmeasurable amount? So, it _was_ a very small amount but Rahil Makadia et al showed it was _not_ unmeasurable.

Asteroid defense mission shifted the orbit of more than its target

The binary asteroid's orbit around the Sun was affected by the impact.

While we wait for the Hera mission to get out to Didymos & Dimorphos and show exactly what the #DARTMission impact did, there is new science on what was happening in the binary before then.

While we've been thinking about YR4, people continue to use #DARTMission data to come up with amazing results! Congrats to Jessica Sunshine et al. for the linked paper (and linked press release explaining it)! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...
