Now, new research has revealed it may have done a lot more. Scientists have confirmed that DART also nudged the asteroid pair’s trajectory around the sun — a first-ever measurement. The shift was tiny, but it doubled the deflection effect. It’s the most compelling evidence yet that humanity could potentially redirect a killer asteroid before it reaches Earth.

Purely out of curiosity, over what?

I don’t get it either.
Shot in the dark: maybe you’re percieved as “too capitalist” for posting sources like WSJ or InterestingEngineering?
Sorry for peeking at your history too, but I was curious. I’m reading that Hermeus link now, in fact…
I invite anyone to look at my history and make criticisms. That’s how I can improve.
