The impact of the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos was observed by the LICIACube CubeSat and telescopes at the Earth and in space. As a result of the impact, Dimorphos’ orbit period was shortened and the mean distance from Dimorphos to Didymos was reduced. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL, adapted with permission.
