DART, you rocked out there. 🪨
#ICYMI, Webb and @NASAHubble both captured the effects of #DARTMission colliding with an asteroid as a test of planetary defense. This is the first time both telescopes observed the same target at the same time: go.nasa.gov/3reIifp

ALT Side-by-side images of asteroid Dimorphos as taken by the DART mission (left) as well as the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system after impact from DART, as taken by the Hubble (top right) and Webb (bottom right) telescopes. DART’s view shows a close-up of the gray, rocky surface of the asteroid. Hubble’s view, colorized blue, looks like wispy blue streaks emanating from a glowing bluish white core. Webb’s view, colorized red, is positioned towards the bottom right of its frame. The core glows a reddish white, with red plumes spreading out from the center.
The James Webb Space Telescope came online, allowing us to see the universe in unprecedented detail.
Professor Beth Biller and Callum Donnan, from the University of Edinburgh, join us to answer YOUR questions!
