@Astro_Mishra The goal is to determine how DART’s impact alters Dimorphos’ motion in space by measuring the change in time it takes to orbit around Didymos. After impact, telescopes on Earth will measure the time it takes Dimorphos to orbit Didymos to see by how much DART nudged Dimorphos. — PolitiTweet.org

@bhrt180422 Scientists think DART's impact will change the asteroid's orbital period by several minutes – enough to observe & measure with telescopes on Earth. This test will prove if a technology like DART could be used on an asteroid on a collision course with Earth if one were ever found. — PolitiTweet.org

@smbanks80 Asteroid Didymos and its small moonlet Dimorphos are not a threat to Earth before, during, or after DART's kinetic impact. At the time of impact, Dimorphos will be about 6.8 million miles (11 million km) from Earth. — PolitiTweet.org
