NASA's DART mission to test our planetary defense capabilities has finally crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos - the first data suggests it was a success! But there's a lot more still to do...
NASA data release of imagery and light curve post-impact (available for donwload): https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-dar...
00:00 - Introduction
02:34 - Did the DART mission work?
04:21 - How much energy did DART transfer to Dimorphos?
06:32 - Is that enough energy to deflect any future asteroid threat?
10:08 - Brilliant
11:27 - Bloopers

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
