The collision with the DART craft changed the asteroid Dimorphos's orbit and shape.
NASA has chosen the first science instruments designed for astronauts to deploy on the surface of the moon during Artemis III. Once installed near the lunar South Pole, the three instruments will collect valuable scientific data about the lunar environment, the lunar interior, and how to sustain a long-duration human presence on the moon, which will help prepare NASA to send astronauts to Mars.
After NASA's historic Double Asteroid Redirection Test, a JPL-led study has shown that the shape of asteroid Dimorphos has changed and its orbit has shrunk.
Astronauts will test drive NASA's Orion spacecraft for the first time during the agency's Artemis II test flight next year. While many of the spacecraft's maneuvers like big propulsive burns are automated, a key test called the proximity operations demonstration will evaluate the manual handling qualities of Orion.
A NASA-funded commercial space station, Blue Origin's Orbital Reef, recently completed testing milestones for its critical life support system as part of the agency's efforts for new destinations in low Earth orbit.

On April 8th, millions of Americans will put on funny glasses and look to the sky to see a total eclipse of the sun. NASA says this is also a serious scientific event.
Scientists have revealed the face of Copernicus, the man who proposed the Earth orbited the Sun, after his last original portrait was destroyed over 400 years ago.
A solar eclipse is a very special physical phenomenon. The Moon orbits the Earth while the Earth-Moon system orbits the Sun, and every so often, all three bodies align. When this alignment occurs when the Moon is on the far side of the Earth from the Sun, we get a lunar eclipse: where the Moon passes into Earth’s shadow. But when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun and all three bodies line up, the Moon’s shadow can fall onto the Earth itself, creating the phenomenon of a total solar...
Elon Musk's spacecraft company SpaceX launched another 23 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This is the eighth flight for the first stage
