@felipefigari No. The DART kinetic impact will produce debris ("ejecta") blown off the surface of the asteroid, but this material won’t be moving fast enough, or in the right direction, to reach Earth. Didymos will be about 11 million km (6.7 million miles) from Earth at the DART impact. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThereIsNoMirror No need to worry. DART’s target is the well studied and well known asteroid system Didymos, comprised of the 780-meter (2,560-foot)-diameter “Didymos” and the smaller, 163-meter (535-foot)-diameter “Dimorphos,” which orbits Didymos; DART will impact Dimorphos. — PolitiTweet.org

@Walkingman100 Assuming you're referring to the mission and not the movie, in 2005, Deep Impact deployed a smaller probe impacted by a much larger object. Comet Tempel 1 produced a bright flash and ejecta plume: https://t.co/13JgZ6kR5Y https://t.co/dxDWBz6fj6 — PolitiTweet.org
