If it did, the mission will have been a major step forward in planetary defense, giving humans a great shot at avoiding the same fate of the dinosaurs if a large asteroid is ever spotted coming straight for us. “We’re embarking on a new era of humankind,&#8221; a NASA livestream commentator said just seconds after the impact was confirmed.

&#8220;An era in which we potentially have the capability to protect ourselves from something like a dangerous hazardous asteroid impact &#8212; what an amazing thing, we’ve never had that capability before.” Last week, DART also ejected a camera called the Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging Asteroids (LICIACube). This will have flown past Dimorphos about three minutes after the impact, capturing high-resolution images of the crash site, including the plume of asteroid material thrown up by the collision, and possibly the newly formed impact crater. We&#8217;ll share these images just as soon as they become available.
