Quick Glance: Dart mission successfully deflects asteroid Dimorphos in space
- Asteroid Dimorphos now orbits asteroid Didymos in less time.
- The 570-kilogram Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impactor impacted Dimorphos, which is about 160 meters across, two weeks ago.
- The crater made by Dart and an exact measurement of Dimorphos' mass are of particular interest.
- Currently, scientists are unaware of any asteroids that could collide with Earth in the near future; however, researchers have found approximately 27,000 asteroids near our planet, including approximately 10,000 with diameters more than 140 meters.

Quick Glance: NASA's spacecraft collides with an asteroid, passing a planetary defense test
- Laurel, Maryland — NASA successfully crashed a small spacecraft into an asteroid on Monday, a 14,000-mile-per-hour collision aimed to see if such technology might be used to safeguard Earth from a potentially catastrophic hit.
- It is in orbit around Didymos, a bigger asteroid.
- A second spacecraft would be required to investigate the effect.
- However, a moonlet, like as Dimorphos, orbits its larger sibling at a leisurely pace.
- Indeed, only the larger asteroid, not Dimorphos, could be seen in the spacecraft's camera's live feed 90 minutes before impact.

Quick Glance: James Webb Telescope live updates: NASA releases photos that reveal cosmic secrets
- NASA has released the first photographs from the new James Webb Space Telescope, including some dating back 13 billion years.
- The final image, the Carina Nebula's cosmic cliffs, reveals for the first time hundreds of stars that were previously hidden from view.
- The Carina Nebula image provides a unique look of stars in their early, fast stages of creation.
- The Carina Nebula is a star-forming region within our own Milky Way galaxy that is rather close (in space terms).
