Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: "The pre-impact orbit is shown with a solid line around Didymos. The dashed line sketches the orbit change due to the impact. Orbits are drawn roughly to scale. The positive pole direction of Didymos is h^ (pointing down in the bottom panel). DART’s incident direction is U^, the net ejecta momentum direction is E^ (which points to a right ascension (RA) and declination (Dec) of 138° and +13°, respectively), and the direction of Dimorphos’s orbital motion, referred to as the along-track direction, is e^T. The relative positions of the Sun and the Earth are also indicated. The upper panel shows the view from Didymos’s negative pole direction, whereas the lower panel provides a perspective view. Scale bar, 1 km." |
