The streams possibly changed direction due to interference of shifting debris. For example: a jet coming from the bottom of the crater has a rock come loose from the edge and cross the stream. As the stream stretches out you can see the exact spot the rock crossed. Every shift in the stream was some physical occurrence such as that.

@kalkovonschpritzendorf1914

Interesting suggestion, however I am not sure that could happen, due to the fact that the source of all the debris was on the same point. So I believe a rock could only fly outwards, not sideways to intersect other debris rays. But we never know, space is weird and I wouldn't be surprised if NASA found out that it's exactly what somehow happened :D My guess is that it might have been caused by some big rotating chunks flying away, tearing themselves apart by centrifugal forces and flying in different directions, thus creating the apparent twists in the ejecta. What do you think?

This mission reminds me so much of the Ranger 7 lunar impactor mission form late July of 1964. I remember that day as a nine year old watching the incoming photos on tv relayed to the networks from NASA starting at 15 minutes before impact as each photo showed a closer picture of the lunar surface until just seconds before impact the final partial photo came through because the transmission of the full photo was cut short by the impact itself. Each photo was taken on rapid developing film and then scanned by an onboard tv camera and transmitted to earth so there was a delay between each photo because of this process. Both missions are truly remarkable for their accomplishments.

Fantastic! It's amazing to think that the distances and speeds out there are so large and yet just a relatively tiny modification can cause so many (in this case fruitful) consequences.

The implications this has for earth cant be understated. It seems like a small thing but its really an incredible task they've accomplished. They moved a celestial body. A small one, but its a start.

Well that was a refreshing scientific review of a NASA experiment without having to embellish the science for a wider KZread audience. This is how all such video science reviews should be conducted: Factual, well explained, and without any click bait nonsense. Well done.

8:20 One of the true oddities of orbital navigating is if you want to speed up~ slow down, if you want to slow down~ speed up. By slowing you come in closer orbit to the object you're orbiting thereby speeding up relative to that object. If you speed up you'll move into a higher orbit~ slowing down relative to the object being orbited. About half of what the Mercury Project was about was learning how to navigate and learn how to get two objects to meet and join up; getting Apollo to the moon would have been impossible.

The real hurdle right now for planetary defense capability is detection, monitoring, and modeling. We have probably spotted (edit: and modeled future paths of) all of the extinction level threats but only some of the smaller rocks.

So cool that Hubble and Webb were able to lend their "eyes" to this event. Amazing!

The spiraling plume from the impact struck me as the only unanswered question. Did the impact create a momentary “atmosphere” of finely pulverised dust which, when ejected, bounced off each other causing a non linear ejection? I remember on the Cody’s Lab channel he said sound can travel in space if there is a plume of gas in which it can propagate.

The precision is just amazing. They hit a tiny satellite of a tiny asteroid in just the right way to decrease its orbital size so as to present no possible danger to earth and for the effects to be easily detectable with simple brightness plots. It was the perfect test mission for asteroid defense technology. Well done NASA!

This was a FANTASTIC video, & just ONE beautiful example of why we subscribe to this channel!!!!!!

Astrum, you help to keep my love for existence alive, & I thank you for that.

I reason the response with Dimorphos was greater than expected was due to the model they used of the little target. Thinking it more spongy than rocky. More rock more reaction and maybe conservation of momentum. They hit it face on - so it slowed down, not from behind that would speed it up.

The fact that the collision generated some form of reactive jet with much enhanced momentum transfer is a great discovery which totally changes the way asteroid deflection will be carried out in future. Well made documentary.

Thank you, fantastic work, as always!

It really is amazing!! The math involved!! Bravo!!

Awesome video as usual. Amazing use of space tech. In this case, definitely worthwhile.

The debris plumes are non-uniform, I would imagine, in part because the impact kicked up some debris which did not achieve escape velocity, and when it re-impacted it set off other plumes of fine debris. It likely also caused some outgassing, which would have produced secondary plumes that rotate with the asteroid and generated forces that would affect the plumes from the initial impact. All of the debris would have been minorly affected by the larger asteroid's weak gravity. Finally, minor local variances in the solar wind could have "blown" some of the fine debris around. All of these actions and interactions resulting in the complex waves and spirals of the debris trail we saw. That's my guess, I can't wait to see what the scientists who study this stuff for a living conclude.

I'd say yes that we would definitely need to use this option at some point in the future. However there have been times that we didn't notice these objects until it was too late to do anything. Unless we could already have them in orbit ready to go, I'm not sure they will always be the correct choice.

With long term observation we may know what effect the impact had on Didymos' own trajectory, because though small, Dimorphos has a slight gravitational tug on the larger body it orbits.

@nathanwahl9224

Good point, and not recognized very often. The impact of one little tug, even if it only changes the trajectory by a tiny fraction of a degree, over large distances can mean a huge change in where an object ends up. The thing you need to be effective is time. A lot of the "big chunks" have been found and their course derived, and that effort is continuing.

Asteroids are not a Threat, but a Solution!

I liked the visual's with this story they were great.

A few questions: Is the smaller body likely to impact the larger one any time soon, because of its reduced distance to the larger body? Did changing the track of the smaller body also change the course of the larger body, due to the shift in mass? How much mass did the smaller body lose? I understand that the impact cause the expulsion of mass at high speed, adding a "Rocket thrust" to the action, moving the smaller body more than expected, could that be expected on more solid bodies? How much, if any, of the ejected mass resettled on the larger body? Could it be that the spiraling ejected material may be parts of the space craft, such as the solar panels?

I think this is one of my favorite shows. Great content and narration. 👍🏻🇺🇸

So...this is good. After this intiial successful test, I assume there will be others, but how many more will be needed I am not enough of a scientist (um, not at all) to know just how many. Given the timeline regarding Hera, I'm wondering if any useful version of this technique will be out of the testing stage before my actuarially projected lifespan is over; I'm 55. Ok, then there's the use of a satellite to use it's tiny bit of gravity to slowly over time change the orbit of the asteroid into a safer one. Are there any test missions slated for this Idea? Beats me, but even if fully functional this takes a lot of lead time to implement. Really, the same is true of other ideas as well; mass drivers, the painting of part of the asteroid black to use sunlight to effect it's orbit...all are slow to carry off and may require years to discover if any of these are, in fact viable. Bummer. But, we still have time. Hopefully. Thanks S.W.

Excellent video! The only comment I would make is I wish documentary makers would include a tiny label in the bottom corner of the screen, for every single image and video, labeling it as "unedited photo," "processed/enhanced photo," "illustration," "real video or real photo sequence," "animation". They should do this for every single image, even the ones they feel are obvious.

Since there was something received, a composite can be produced because it's the very same shot but closer, plus the last picture shows us a simple size/pixel for the complete picture!

I have a small kernel in my mind that keeps saying "The nudged that thing a tiny bit, then it hit another that hit another and eventually nudges the asteroid that takes us out into a collision orbit."

Scientists are permanently shocked.

This type of research and effort is probably the most important work in regards to space. Considering that asteroid impacts are even more devastating than nuclear bombs. Can you imagine the force that would be released and the destruction it would cause if Ida and Dactyl hit Earth?! Speaking of Ida & Dactyl they are my favorite binary asteroids ever they are the first asteroids I've ever read about when I first started getting into astronomy in 2003. So they're very nostalgic for me.

I stand corrected. Here I was thinking WEBB was launched after this impact test.

This was more than worthwhile!! This is the culmination of decades of both fiction and non-fictional thesis' and PROVES that the human mind is capable of navigating the complexities of the universe. It's a baby step but it is proof of concept and should enable the furthering of the studies. Hopefully we can see what happens to a much larger object, in our lifetimes. Very promising results!! Way to go star boys and girls!!

Brilliant 👏 we have come a long way in exploring the unknown when I was a child in the 50s, it is becoming clearer every decade now. It proves that Earth is the only living object anywhere near us.

Fantastic. Thank you for such a well explained video. NASA scientists truly rock...

Great vidio. Every dollar spent and being spent on that project is well spent. Congrats to all evolved. Second viewing. Not last. Thank you!

Great work. Thank you.
