As the spacecraft for NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test neared its target Monday, images streamed back to Earth at the rate of one per second of the asteroid Dimorphos, which orbits a larger space rock called Didymos.

Title: Hubble Asteroid Hunter. I. Identifying asteroid trails in Hubble Space Telescope images
First Author's Institution: European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESA), Keplerlaan 1, 2201 AZ Noordwijk, The Netherlands
To get a handle on just how lawless this epoch of our history was, astronomers would love to perform a forensic analysis on the asteroids that survived to the comparatively quiescent present; if they could measure the current ratio of smaller asteroids to larger ones, they could constrain how ...
Largest asteroid to strike Earth was up to 15 miles long • Earth.com
The Vredefort crater in South Africa – caused by an asteroid impact about two billion years ago – is the largest of its kind on our planet, stretching as far as 300 kilometers from rim to rim.
However, by using more accurate simulations of the impact event, a team of scientists led by Johns Hopkins University has now argued that the asteroid that created the crater was larger than the previous estimates of 15 kilometers in diameter, most likely measuring between 20 and 25 kilometers.
Space telescopes capture asteroid slam with striking clarity

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The world now has stunning new photos of this week's asteroid strike, the first planetary defense test of its kind.
NASA on Thursday released pictures of the dramatic event taken by the Hubble and Webb space telescopes.
Telescopes on all seven continents watched as NASA's Dart spacecraft slammed Monday into the harmless space rock, 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth, in hopes of altering its orbit.

See NASA's DART Asteroid Crash Through the Lens of Webb, Hubble Telescopes - CNET
DART was designed as humanity's first experiment in kinetic impact mitigation, which is a lot of syllables to say the goal was to smash a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if the collision could alter the space rock's orbit.
The effort to capture the instant of the impact, as well as earlier and follow-up imagery of the crash site, marks the first time Webb and Hubble have made observations of the same target at the same time.
Stargazer joins asteroid hit squad | Ireland | The Sunday Times
A budding astronomer was made of Alan Fitzsimmons at the age of 11 when he peered through his friend's small telescope in a council house garden in Berkshire, England, and saw the moon's craters and mountains for the first time.
Now 58, the professor of astrophysics at Queen's University Belfast has worked in the field of planetary defence for more than 20 years, and spent a career following asteroids and comets around the solar system.
Eggshell fossils show dinosaurs were in decline before asteroid | SYFY WIRE
Scientists from the China University of Geoscience and the Chinese Academy of Sciences set out to provide a clearer picture of dinosaur diversity in the years leading up to their extinction.
Those eggs came from dozens of strata layers, hailing back to between 68 and 66 million years ago. Despite gathering more than a thousand eggs, the collection was comprised of only three species from two dinosaur groups.
