True. The DART probe's mass was approximately 610 kg at launch and about 550 kg at impact, consistent with the claim of "around 600 kg". The mass of the asteroid Dimorphos is estimated to be around 5 billion kg (5 x 10^9 kg) o...

"Although the DART probe's mass was only about 600 kg, which is literally a fraction of a permille of the target asteroid's mass, its speed in a fraction of a second before impact exceeded 22,000 km/h." "Mimo że masa sondy Dart wynosiła zaledwie około 600 kg, co jest dosłownie ułamkiem promila masy docelowej asteroidy, to jej prędkość w ułamku sekundy przed zderzeniem przekraczała 22 000 km/h."

gwałtownie przekazany tej drugiej, zmieniając jej dotychczasową prędkość i wektor poruszania się. W ogromnej pustej przestrzeni kosmicznej impaktor kinetyczny to nic innego jak nasz sztuczny, precyzyjnie naprowadzony pocisk. W tym konkretnym przypadku inżynieryjnie jest zaawansowana sonda kosmiczna rozpędzona do absolutnie gigantycznej prędkości. Mimo że masa sondy Dart wynosiła zaledwie około 600 kg, co jest dosłownie ułamkiem promila masy docelowej asteroidy, to jej prędkość w ułamku sekundy przed zderzeniem przekraczała 22 000 km/h. I ta ogromna prędkość z nawiązką rekompensuje niewielką masę tego urządzenia, pozwalając na jednorazowe przekazanie niewyobrażalnie potężnej porcji energii kinetycznej. Wbrew pozorom uderzenie w cel nie ma na celu rozerwania go na strzępy i stworzenia chmury kosmicznych odłamków, jak często bywa to wizualizowane w różnych filmach science fiction.

"For the first time in the documented history of modern science, humanity has deliberately and with full premeditation permanently modified the natural movement of celestial bodies relative to the central star of our entire system. "

"We are entering the Vera Rubin Observatory, and it will be a true game changer, because we are launching a telescope with the largest digital camera in human history, 3.2 gigapixels. This monster will not look at a single point, but will scan the entire sky, constantly creating a time-lapse film of the universe's existence. The LSST program, or Legacy Survey of Space and Time, will generate 20 TB of data every night. Mike Brown said directly: "If someone gave him a suitcase full of money and told him to find Planet Nine, he would build something like the Vera Rubin telescope." This device is capable of detecting objects orders of magnitude dimmer than anything we have had so far. Scientists estimate that the number of known objects in the solar system will increase by as much as a hundredfold thanks to it. If Planet Nine is there, Vera Rubin will find it. If it's the Kuiper Belt disk, Vera Rubin will see its structure. "

"An international team of scientists working with the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument known as Desi has published the results of their monumental research on the evolution of the cosmos using baryonic acoustic oscillations. When these extremely accurate maps of cosmic structures were combined with those known from cosmic microwave background radiation and traditional supernovae, scientists obtained a clear and unambiguous signal. Dark energy is not a constant value. "

"the results delighted everyone, because the material obtained in the laboratory showed a powerful drop in shear wave velocity and a Poisson's ratio perfectly consistent with actual seismic measurements of the Earth's exterior. So, undeniable experimental evidence confirming the superionic nature of the core appeared before us. "
