photography shows imminent collision – courtesy of NASA
Toronto. We watched the collision Monday on local TV courtesy of photography and a camera on the DART vehicle in space. The How-to Geek web site noted the next day, “Happy Tuesday! NASA just smashed a satellite into an asteroid, as a test for future space rocks that could threaten life on Earth. Too bad the dinosaurs didn’t have NASA when they were around.”
Just another example of how photography allows everyone to see historic events! DART jettisoned a smaller vehicle that can record the results of the impact about 3 hours later. Stay tuned to NASA via your local news station.
