Studying the first crater ever made by humans ☄️ #shorts

Our Hera spacecraft will soon start its journey to the distant asteroid moon Dimorphos orbiting around its parent body Didymos.

One of the first features Hera will look for is the crater left on Dimorphos by its predecessor mission DART, which impacted the asteroid to deflect its orbit.

Yet, more recent impact simulations suggest no crater will be found. The DART impact is likely to have remodelled the entire body instead – a significant finding for both asteroid science and planetary defence.
