NASA's Bhavya Lal says her office's report on space-based solar power was finished a couple weeks ago and is in review. She hasn't seen it yet herself. Will make public as soon as thru review and NASA will be transparent about it.
Lori Glaze spoke glowingly of #NEOSurveyor at today’s #DART briefing. Let’s hope she backs that up with funding … unlike FY22 and FY23 (as requested). #PlanetaryDefense
Congratulations to the team at @NASA for successfully altering the orbit of an asteroid. The #DARTMission marks the first-time humans have changed the motion of a celestial body in space, demonstrating technology that could one day be used to protect Earth.
This just in: The #DARTmission impact is confirmed to have changed the orbit of moonlet Dimorphos around its asteroid Didymos.
For the first time ever, humans changed the motion of a celestial object. More details: go.nasa.gov/3g2C5kp
It’s #PowersOfTenDay — a day dedicated to looking at the world by scale in different powers of ten! This perspective helps us understand the relative size of things in the universe — whether close up, far away, or somewhere in between. Spectacular! 🔟👀 #Mathnasium#MathHoliday
Join experts on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 2pm ET for an update on the #DARTMission and its Sept. 26 intentional collision with asteroid Dimorphos.

Remember, DART is a test and there are no known asteroid threats to Earth. 🌎
Google just released a really well-produced, fun, visual, 15 to 19 minute YouTube video series “Hacking Google”. Videos are:
Operation Aurora,
Threat Analysis Group,
Detection & Response,
Red Team,
Bug Hunters,
Project Zero.
HIGHLY recommended:

.@NASAWebb & @NASAHubble caught the DART impact on camera – the 1st time that Webb & Hubble were used to simultaneously observe the same celestial target.
Looking forward to what we’ll learn about #DARTmission from our telescopes on Earth soon.Â

ALT Side-by-side images of asteroid Dimorphos as taken by the DART mission (left) as well as the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system after impact from DART, as taken by the Hubble (top right) and Webb (bottom right) telescopes. DART’s view shows a close-up of the gray, rocky surface of the asteroid. Hubble’s view, colorized blue, looks like wispy blue streaks emanating from a glowing bluish white core. Webb’s view, colorized red, is positioned towards the bottom right of its frame. The core glows a reddish white, with red plumes spreading out from the center.
