NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is a mission designed to test planetary defense techniques. It aims to demonstrate the ability to change the motion of an asteroid through a kinetic impactor technique. DART is targeting the binary asteroid system Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos. The goal is to impact Dimorphos with the DART spacecraft to see if its orbit can be altered in a way that would be relevant for planetary defense against potentially hazardous asteroids.

133 Days on the Sun
NASA recorded a video on the Sun for 133 days as part of a mission. In this mission, they studied the Sun's surface and its surrounding magnetic effects. In the video, you can observe the rapid motion of the Sun and its shining coronal features, which are crucial components of our solar system. NASA's scientists are using this video to gain valuable insights into the behavior of the Sun.
