@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

NASA @NASA

@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

@okdawgg DART is far too small to knock Dimorphos out of its orbit around Didymos. This impact will change the path of the smaller asteroid just enough to be measured by Earth-based telescopes (less than 1%). This asteroid system has been studied for years and its mass is well known. — PolitiTweet.org

@HlungwaMfana There is no cause for alarm. DART is too small to knock Dimorphos out of its orbit around Didymos. This impact will change the path of the smaller asteroid just enough to be measured by Earth-based telescopes (less than 1%). This asteroid is both well known and well studied. — PolitiTweet.org

@cryptobymic Yes! We'll stream the approach and impact from DART's onboard DRACO camera, which will send one image per second back to Earth. It kicks off at 5:30pm ET (21:30 UTC): https://t.co/m295Y6uCot — PolitiTweet.org

Stargazers: Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years! Weather-permitting, expect excellent views on Sept. 26. A good pair of binoculars should be enough to catch some details; you’ll need a large telescope to see the Great Red Spot. https://t.co/qD5OiZX6ld https://t.co/AMFYmC9NET — PolitiTweet.org
