On Monday, NASA successfully launched a spacecraft into space and crashed it into the never-seen-before asteroid Dimorphos.
But now that the crash has happened, what's next for the DART mission? Do we know if it was successful? Can we sleep better at night?

Near-Earth asteroid Ryugu was born in the outer solar system | Space
The findings show that even though Ryugu is now classified as a near-Earth object, its journey to the inner solar system began hundreds of millions of miles away and billions of years ago.
Asteroids like Ryugu are composed of unspoiled material left over from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
Asteroid watch: Gigantic 1640 foot space rock just flew past Earth | Tech News
Although NASA has successfully completed its first asteroid deflection test, there is no way as of yet to determine whether the asteroid was actually deflected off its path. The space agency will determine that using the data collected during and after the collision.
According to a report from experts at Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of Russia's Academy of Sciences, Asteroid 2022 SE37 is nearly 1640 feet wide, which roughly translates to half a kilometer. That is bigger than even the Roman Colosseum!

A Curtin-led research team has found asteroid impacts on the Moon millions of years ago coincided precisely with some of the largest meteorite impacts on Earth, such as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
The study also found that major impact events on Earth were not stand-alone events, but were accompanied by a series of smaller impacts, shedding new light on asteroid dynamics in the inner solar system, including the likelihood of potentially devastating Earth-bound asteroids.

Hi all! Welcome back to Week in Review , the newsletter where we quickly sum up some of the most read TechCrunch stories from the past seven days. The goal?
Didn’t have time to tune in to all of TechCrunch’s podcasts this week? Here’s what you might’ve missed:
Largest asteroid to strike Earth was up to 15 miles long • Earth.com
The Vredefort crater in South Africa – caused by an asteroid impact about two billion years ago – is the largest of its kind on our planet, stretching as far as 300 kilometers from rim to rim.
However, by using more accurate simulations of the impact event, a team of scientists led by Johns Hopkins University has now argued that the asteroid that created the crater was larger than the previous estimates of 15 kilometers in diameter, most likely measuring between 20 and 25 kilometers.
