Sights are set! Our DARTmission got its first look at the Didymos double-asteroid system, which poses no threat to Earth. On Sept. 26, DART will intentionally crash into Dimorphos to change its path as part of the world’s first planetary defense test:

you should build a Radio telescope on orbit x4 as bigger as JWST with SpaceX's Starship. What better defense against Asteroids than being actually capable of detecting them?

Hope this not gonna back fire

how in the hell is a tiny dart robot going to stop a TRILLION TON ROCK COMING TOWARDS EARTH AT A MILLION MPH

Why is Denver giving out bug out bags, and the simpsons season 24 episode 9, an asteroid heads to earth, also German parliament speaking of a major event going to happen on September 24th

I didn t understand what is it........

Nothing good will come of this, money better going to better equipment for the jedi.

With the way the world is going right now, I predict the DART will deflect it right into earth's path and end us like the dinosaurs.

How much did this ship cost that we are gonna purposefully destroy? Enough to get Jackson, MS clean water?

Everything that really exists exists only in the conscious mind of the existence of these things, therefore, only beings conscious of their own existence, such as human beings, can see what exists. In the absence of awareness of one's own existence, everything ceases to exist.

What if we harm something else? Also, the first game was Pong, so how fitting. :)

What if it's not a test? What if it's a real treat and they don't want panic? 🤔 🤷‍♂️I guess we will find that out if it fails lol

Will there be live coverage of the impact?

where Didymos double-asteroid go? I wish people used wishes to modify themselves instead of others. Wish to be low maintenance. Wish to be autonomous, even.

Baby steps first. Very important work here.

Pity the dinosaurs didn't think of this. Actually, come to think about it, it's the dinosaurs that are killing the planet all over again. Fookin' dinosaurs!

Is it possible to use the JWST to watch the impact? JWST would need to be in the correct location and pointing to see it. That would be amazing!

I think that's me

Few days before DART sees two dots in place of one, & chances of dimorphos (/didymos double asteroid system) ever impacting us post its impact with DART are none, since we're changing dimorphos's orbit by a little and didymos continues to be in a heliocentric orbit. DART

世界初の惑星防衛テストの一環として、意図的にディモルフォスに衝突し🚀、進路を変更します☄️

I hope it will work as well as it is planned on. It would be a game changer if we could change the trajectory of an asteroid to teraform Mars or other plants some day and of course keep our plant safe.

I just dont understand how could you get most the planet in information from this picture i just see a dot in empty space.

Good luck. Great that you're testing out these things in preparation for a real collision event. Now we just need to work on detecting them.

cathomas09 GOOD LUCK = BON CHANCE = 888.

Upsetting the balance of the solar system could cause an extinction event that would not have happened otherwise. Chaos theory!!

Meanwhile, some other advanced civilization is tracking the same asteroids and will take notice of it's sudden change of course; then deploy the same counter measures to send the asteroids back to us in the largest game of intergalactic tennis ever.

DART comin’ in to the final stretch like:

🤜🤛

Did Snoopy launch with the rocket?

U did this but hadn't calculated the hyper explosive nature of the plasma force when your probe vaporized in massive explosion wiping out all instrumentation Objects from one region are electrically tuned differently than another. One day you'll say it. It's an electric universe

Man twitter users are toxic af why can’t anyone see how important this may be

If a 1 to 2 hr collision warnings with earth 🌎, what type of response we are capable of ...?

All the best NASA 👍 for your upcoming plans for Dart... Best wishes from India ❤️

😊

I feel this needs to be explained! So E is energy = mass x constant ( speed of light ) squared so DART would have to equal that on impact to change course

Major note E=mc^2 to change a asteroid will have to follow this rule

Don’t worry ! All the signs are their! and I can blah blah say and tell the world what I saw and seen, they will not believe it. Life will proceed as normal ( it’s twitter)

So conspiracy theories 101 base off of every movie ever made E.L.E is already happening!

👍

I’m guessing your reading my feeds!

👎👎 Ich bringe euch um

A pivotal test of a Planetary Defence System. An ability to ensure habitability and defend against rogue terrestrial objects, to be able to secure a long and safe future is a massive accomplishment as a technological & pivotal leap forward for all mankind & life on this planet.

C'est bien beau.. mais, il ne faudrait pas qu'il devienne une menace pour notre planète suite à l'impact🤨 C'est souvent les petites choses qui ont de grandes conséquences. Bon, j'imagine sûrement, que vous avez déjà fait tout les calculs pour le bon déroulement de la Mission 🙂

That’s actually so cool. Imagine if it hit the asteroid on a path towards earth 🌎

🇮🇳❤️🇮🇳

Do you only collaborate with other Anglo Saxon countries. I hope the Asian and Black people working in the NASA,notice the racist and Western bias in this organisation. Are you blind to it or brainwashed. NASA is racist institution like most institutions in USA.

Hopefully you don't have any rejects from Fauci's gain of function work on this project. They'd definitely knock one asteroid into another, sending it straight for Earth.

I hope you FAIL! You're already further damaging polluted skies. What do you think you're doing to the Ozone layer & Global Warming on Earth? Why the hell do you think the glaciers are melting? Too much pollution & global warming - that's what! YOU ARE THE MAIN OFFENDERS!

Perfect example of potential unintended consequences...

Math test! Millions of asteroids, billions of dollars Earth is 100,000 years past due for the next E.L.E. Event . And coincidentally we are launching a very expensive missle to change the trajectory of the didymos which apparently poses “no threat “ to the people of earth

NicoMartinFC

If it poses no threat why wish collateral damage to all the stuff it will strike that will richochet and kill life on Earth?

Good luck. This is probably one of your most important endeavors ever. To deflect a potential planet killer is nb.

Good to know about this!

Oh yeah 🙃

'No threat to us' 'Let's crash into it!' *Asteroid suddenly B-lines to Earth* I'm all for testing things, but could we do this... not this way right now? We're not having a great decade here right now... LOL

Nice!

Why is everyone silent on Chainlink?

Why is CZ / Binance in the top comments? Get this clown off here...

Is the earth in the center of the universe? According to Galileo?

Where is Earth

This is so interesting. At what speed will DART be striking the asteroid at?

Don’t mess with space man. Might knock it on a course for earth. Don’t be stupid

Many of these 'asteroids' are ships. There are 350,000 ships in different orbits around Earth, many of them as far as the Moon or more. NASA years ago explains with 'asteroids' the ships that come near. For example: Oumuamua doesn't exist is one of these ships around Earth.

Drugmakers profit through donations to patient charities, study findsDrug manufacturers may have profited from donating to charities that help patients pay for costly medicines, a new study found. Federal law is supposed to prevent manufacturers from realizing financial gains when they help subsidize patients' drug copays. Or Government contracts? Hey wasn’t the CEO the daughter of a Democrat Senator? 😂 They also profit because $$$ for the R&D for new drug development comes from the Federal Government.
