    If it hit dimorphos then how did it change the orbit of didymos?

    i found that one of Nasa’s space crafts crashed into a asteroid i found that interesting as well as the details of what happened, such as how they determined how much they can move the asteroid, and how they have been studying the orbit and they found out they changed the orbit rate around didymos around 30 minutes.

    In my opinion, the idea of destroying the moonlet to redirect the asteroid’s trajectory is very smart. If they perfect this they might actually be able to redirect them away from earth

    I find it Interesting that NASA would crash the DART Spacecraft into Dimorphos with it but in a way its a good thing as it shows that it was able to change the speed of the little moon asteroid that was orbiting the bigger asteroid.
