NASA's DART mission ejected boulders from asteroid Dimorphos, offering new insight into asteroid collision outcomes

These ejected rocks, captured by LICIACube, carried nearly as much momentum as DART itself, revealing the importance of considering debris ejecta in future asteroid redirection efforts. The European Space Agency’s Hera mission will further investigate these effects.
