NASA hit another big milestone. When they fired a rocket towards an asteroid to destroy it. at speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour.
The asteroid in question is called Dimorphos and is floating in the cosmos. NASA has decided to launch a rocket called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) to prove and test it. They can actually destroy asteroids in this way.
after which they succeeded The results are considered to be very satisfactory. Ideally, it might help us deter other minor downfalls. that may be a threat to the world as we used to fear Or heard the news that there will be a star hitting the world often.
Dimorphus is part of an asteroid system orbiting another asteroid called Didymos, with each orbit taking about 11 hours and 55 minutes.
After the downfall was shot at him by a rocket. The results we have come out are Reducing that orbit by 10 minutes, that proves that. It’s possible we could change the way the asteroid runs, deflects, or trajectories in the future (maybe even with a bigger rocket).
Ahead of the launch, NASA said, “Dart’s target asteroid poses no threat to Earth. But it’s the perfect testing ground. to see if this asteroid deflection method, known as the kinetic impactor technique, could be an effective way to protect our planet if An asteroid on its way to our planet in the future.”
At the time of the collision between the rocket and the asteroid, the DART is estimated to be traveling at approximately 15,000 miles per hour. That may cause us to have a new understanding of the sentence that A downfall that is heading towards our world. Causing most people to panic and say “It has come close to the world” because really It’s also something absurd. due to the distance of this planet It’s 11 million kilometers from Earth, and that’s probably about the same as any other asteroid. we have heard the news
DART set sail about 10 months ago with a small satellite detached to record the collision. Then the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch another spacecraft called Hera in 2024. Hera will head. to the location of the asteroid to hopefully obtain some information about the collision
After reading this news I hope that friends will disappear from each other’s worries, right? Our planet may be subject to downfall just as the dinosaurs went extinct. Because nowadays we are starting to have new technologies to help protect and develop our world by leaps and bounds. In the next article, we will talk about what? or friends who want to read a specific story Don’t forget to introduce each other to the page.
