Busy days for our Neorockers! Yesterday, Davide Perna from INAF @mediainaf participated in "Chiedi al planetologo". Whatch him here: https://t.co/1aphJk3E5e #AsteroidDay@AsteroidDay
Next Octoberb27th: if you are in Roma, join us in @ASI_spazio for a @LICIACube celebration, 1 month after its wonderful fly-by!
I will talk a bit also about ground-based observations.

CONFIRMED: Analysis of data obtained over the past 2 weeks by the #DARTMission team shows impact with Dimorphos has successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit by 32 minutes - marking the 1st time humans have changed the orbit of a celestial object in space! https://t.co/MjmUAFwVSO
Our team in Paranal have been busy observing the aftermath of the #DARTMission impact on Monday night! Images are of the Didymos system, (1) about 4hrs after impact and (2) taken the next night on the MUSE instrument with an image scale of about 3000kms at Didymos🔭☄️
Here are the first images taken by #LICIACube of #DARTmission impact on asteroid #Dimorphos.
Now weeks and months of hard work are now starting for scientists and technicians involved in this mission, so stay tuned because we will have a lot to tell!
We have impact 🛰️💥
@NASA's #DARTMission – the world's first #planetarydefense test mission – successfully impacted its asteroid target. Mission control at @JHUAPL announced the impact at 7:14 p.m. EDT.
IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.
Annuncio #Nasa: test di difesa planetaria completato. Per la prima volta nella storia, una sonda ha intenzionalmente colpito un asteroide per alterarne l'orbita. #Dart#Dimorphos
Just 1⃣ more day! DART will become the first-ever space mission to demonstrate #asteroid deflection by kinetic impactor. Are you ready to watch history in the making? 💥🛰️
Watch @NASA's #DARTMission LIVE tomorrow at 6pm ET. ▶️➡️ https://t.co/CRmd7X4Ku1
