with its satellite Dimorphos at 23:16 UTC at a relative speed of about 6.6 km/s. The impact must change the orbital period of Dimorphos around Didymos, which...

B comes from the word "Dimorphos", Greek for "having two forms". The meaning of the name represents how the form of Dimorphos's orbit will change after...

spacecraft successfully altered the orbit of the non-threatening asteroid Dimorphos by crashing into it. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU)...
