The entire binary system's path around the Sun also moved.\n\nDART slammed into Dimorphos — a 160-meter-wide moonlet orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos — at over 22,000 km/h on September 26, 2022, shaving 33 minutes off its orbit. — Read the rest \n\nThe post NASA's DART probe shifted the orbits of two asteroids, not just one appeared first on Boing Boing.",
