Quibeke Media, Canada reported on October 13: NASA announced the final results of the "Double Asteroid Diversion Test" (DART) conducted at the end of last month on the 11th.

NASA excitedly declared, " spacecraft , successfully changed the natural orbit of the target planet, which is the first time in human history to change the movement of celestial bodies. "

" In the future, humans are expected to deflect any asteroid or comet that poses a real threat to the earth. "

is quite a bit like the meaning of four people making a big splash

A vending machine-DART hit an asteroid about 11.27 million kilometers away from the earth on September 26 at a speed of about 22,530 kilometers per hour. "Twin Sanitation" (Dimorphos), completing the first "planetary defense test" in NASA and human history.

, it took a long time for the asteroid "twin health" to orbit the mother planet, 11 hours and 55 minutes, while the DART impact caused its orbital period to be shortened by a full 32 minutes.

This far exceeds the expected test requirements of "changing its orbital period to be at least 73 seconds".

DART chief researcher Thomas (Cristina) (Cristina) (Cristina, chief researcher of

DART Thomas, praised the team he led, “The results now prove how well our team has prepared for this moment. "

Thomas said: "I am very excited about the orbital period changes caused by the DART impact today. I was impressed by the team and the fact that they had collected such amazing observations within two weeks of the impact. "

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said, "We show the world NASA's seriousness as the defender of the earth." This moment is the watershed in human history. "

NASA predicts that this impact will cause this asteroid to never return to its original orbit.

The editor is moved by . Politicians use missile to hit tank , scientists use aircraft to hit asteroids, they are all changing people A similar history, but the two give people a very different feeling...

The ultimate thought here is, can scientists without politicians bring correct history to mankind?

But, what is "correct"? Asteroids that can never return to their original orbits, like we can never return to the era before the new crown epidemic?
