Pasadena, California: Last year, NASA’s Dart spacecraft collided with a meteorite, but now it is known that the same meteorite is throwing stones and rocks in all directions.
A year ago, a small spacecraft called the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission collided with the ‘Dymorphs’ meteorite, and in this suicide attack we got a lot of information about this space rock. But now it has been revealed that Dimorphos is orbiting Didymos, a large meteorite similar to our Earth’s moon.
But an even more surprising revelation is that Diademos is scattering rocks and meteorite debris in all directions during its rotation.
Astronomers have reported that this central meteorite is spinning so fast that it is scattering its rocky remains far into space. This discovery has raised questions on the solidity of meteorite and on the other hand, an interesting aspect has come out that the debris of stray space rocks can also be divided into smaller and larger stones.
This will help uncover the appearance of diadems and diamorphs themselves and other important rituals.
