You mean hitting an asteroid shot ejecta everywhere? Who knew?!
Well is it better or worse that you have a hundred impactors, or one massive one?
# TLDR:
* NASA’s DART spacecraft impact on the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022 achieved its orbital change goal but unexpectedly ejected a massive barrage of boulders from the surface.
* The DART kinetic impactor struck Dimorphos at high speed, transferring momentum as intended but also fragmenting surface material into numerous large rocks observed by telescopes post-impact.
* The ejected boulders have now proposed concerns over future asteroid deflection efforts using kinetic impactors by potentially creating secondary hazards or altering momentum transfer calculations.
What do you think is a potential solution to future asteroid deflection efforts?
Vera Rubin is gonna find out were living in a shooting gallery.
Gonna be real humbling to learn we cant leave the planet anyways.
If most space bodies residing between the planets are loosely conglomerated material, then most of the time that material probably will feature a powerful airburst event. Not just shockwaves from passage, but an object breaking up in any atmosphere into many pieces while at great speed will cause all sorts of crazy shockwaves and airburst-like effects.
(It’s all shockwaves in the end anyways right?)
