ALT A black and white image shows a bright object in the upper center of the graphic. This image was taken by the Italian Space Agency's LICIACube and shows white plumes of ejecta streaming from the Dimorphos asteroid after NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirect Test, or DART, mission, made impact with it on Sept. 26, 2022. Rectangles appear to zoom in on the asteroid and represent different levels of contrast. These levels allow scientist's to better see fine structures in the plumes. By studying these streams of material, we will be able to learn more about the asteroid and the impact process.
