NASA’s DART becomes first human action to change a body's orbit around the Sun
NASA's DART spacecraft struck the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in September 2022, shortening its orbital period around Didymos and measurably shifting the pair's heliocentric orbit. New analysis confirms this is the first deliberate alteration of a celestial body's path around the Sun and validates kinetic deflection for planetary defense.
