Using the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists have more interesting findings on the DART mission that happened in September 2022. As part of that test, NASA intentionally rammed the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft into an asteroid called Dimorphos. From Hubble's observations, scientists have now found a "swarm of boulders" that flung away from the asteroid into space as a result of the collision.
