This image from ASI’s LICIACube satellite shows the plumes of ejecta streaming from Dimorphos after DART made impact with it on September 26, 2022. Each rectangle represents a different level of contrast in order to better see fine structure in the plumes. By studying these streams of material, we will be able to learn more about the asteroid and the impact process. Image credit: ASI / NASA / Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
