Hubble Telescope Discovers NASA's Space Debris From Smashing An Asteroid 37 rocks, measuring between one and seven meters in diameter, were also sent by the collision, according to new Hubble Space Telescope photos.                                                                  img source: ndtv NASA's DART probe collided with the far-off asteroid Dimorphos last year. The resultant debris has now been recorded in breathtaking detail by the Hubble Space Telescope. On September 26, 2022, DART purposefully collided with Dimorphos, slightly altering the course of its orbit around the bigger asteroid Didymos. According to a NASA press release, astronomers have now used the Hubble telescope to find a cluster of rocks that may have been blasted loose from the asteroid by NASA's deliberate collision of the DART impactor spacecraft ...

  NASA Selects 14 Investigations to Help Understand the Universe through Ultraviolet Light                                              SOURCE IMG : science.nasa.gov NASA has chosen 14 researchers from the United States to join the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) science team. The selected ULTRASAT Participating Scientists from the United States will conduct scientific research that will contribute to Israel's first space telescope project, which is scheduled to launch into geostationary orbit around Earth in 2026. ROSES 2022: Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite Participating Scientists solicited proposals."The US scientific community responded to this opportunity with an excellent set of proposals, and we are very pleased to have a group studying such a wide variety of creative science," said James Rhoads, NASA Project Scientist for ULTRASAT...
