Summary[edit]

Description
English: Asteroid Didymos (the bigger/nearer one) and its moonlet, Dimorphos, about 2.5 minutes before the impact of NASA's DART spacecraft. The image was taken by the on board DRACO imager from a distance of 570 miles (920 kilometers). This image was the last to contain a complete view of both asteroids. Didymos is roughly 2,500 feet (780 meters) in diameter; Dimorphos is about 525 feet (160 meters) in length. Didymos' and Dimorphos' north is toward the top of the image.
