>New paper on NASA's DART impact on asteroid Dimorphos. Title - High-speed Boulders and the Debris Field in DART Ejecta
https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.16694
> The DART spacecraft ejected a massive barrage of boulders, some of which carried more than 3 times the energy of the spacecraft itself, surprising the DART team.
>"Our research shows that while the direct impact of the DART spacecraft caused this change (deflection), the boulders ejected gave an additional kick that was almost as big."
