The DART mission will deploy a kinetic impactor to smack the small moon Dimorphos of the asteroid Didymos on the evening of Sept. 26. This is an on-orbit demonstration of asteroid deflection, a key test of NASA's kinetic impactor technology, designed to impact an asteroid to adjust its speed and path. This particular asteroid moon is NOT a threat to Earth, but is technology being explored to use for when we DO find a potentially hazardous asteroid.The Hubble Space Telescope captured these extraordinary views of the asteroid moon soon after the successful impact.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has determined the size of the largest icy comet nucleus ever found. And, it’s big! With a diameter of approximately 80 miles across, it’s about 50 times larger than typical comets. Its 500-trillion-ton mass is a hundred thousand times greater than the average comet.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

After traveling several billion miles toward the Sun, a wayward young comet-like object orbiting among the giant planets has found a temporary parking place along the way. The object has settled near a family of captured ancient asteroids, called Trojans, that are orbiting the Sun alongside Jupiter. This is the first time a comet-like object has been spotted near the Trojan population.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

Canned interview with Plantary Astronomer Heidi Hammel Canned interview with NASA Scientist Padi Boyd Audio interview with Max Mutchler. Includes transcript The Hubble Space Telescope just captured a new image of the first known interstellar comet as it speeds towards our Sun. The comet named 2I/Borisov is an ancient ball of ice, rock and dust that formed in a distant star system. Scientists are clamoring to study this frozen time capsule shrouded in mystery, looking for clues of what may lie beyond our solar system. Chat with Hubble scientists from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST on Friday, December 13th, to learn about the out-of-this-solar-system discovery, find out what this comet can teach us about what lies beyond our own solar system and learn how your viewers may be able to see this interstellar visitor for themselves. This comet is the second confirmed interstellar object visiting our solar system, and likely the first interstellar comet ever discovered. Scientists are taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity to observe this ancient ball of ice and dust before it departs our solar system forever.

TRT 2:22 NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers their best look yet at an interstellar visitor — comet 2I/Borisov — whose speed and trajectory indicate it has come from beyond our solar system.This Hubble image, taken on Oct. 12, 2019, is the sharpest view of the comet to date. Hubble reveals a central concentration of dust around the nucleus (which is too small to be seen by Hubble).Hubble photographed the comet at a distance of 260 million miles from Earth. The comet is falling past the Sun and will make its closest approach to the Sun on Dec. 7, 2019, when it will be twice as far from the Sun as Earth.Click here for full feature about Hubble's view of comet 2I/Borisov.For more Hubble news follow us on social media:Twitter @NASAHubble Facebook NASA Hubble And Instagram look for nasa hubble For More InformationSee [https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.html](https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/main/index.html) Related pages

4. Hubble Memorable Moments: Comet ImpactIn July 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope was poised to use its newly fixed optics to observe one of the most impressive astronomical events of the century - the 21 fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacting Jupiter. But these observations almost didn’t happen.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel. 3. Hubble Memorable Moments: Tinkertoy SolutionThe Hubble Space Telescope got off to a rocky start when shortly after its April, 1990 deployment, operators found that its high-gain antenna was mysteriously stuck. Hubble team members recall that intense week and how they ultimately solved the antenna problem in this third installment of Hubble Memorable Moments: Tinkertoy Solution. Watch on YouTube. 2. Hubble Memorable Moments: Brute ForceIn this second video of NASA's Hubble Memorable Moments series celebrating Hubble's 25 years, the team scrambles to work out an unusual solution to a problem encountered during an instrument repair.The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, or STIS, was installed on Hubble during Servicing Mission 2 in 1997. The versatile instrument was heavily used until a power supply failure in 2004. The Hubble team spent years preparing for a complex repair task in 2009 on the final servicing mission. But no matter how prepared you are, there is always the possibility of an unexpected obstacle.Watch on YouTube. 1. Hubble Memorable Moments: Powering DownIn this first video of NASA's Hubble Memorable Moments series celebrating Hubble's 25 years, the telescope must be completely powered off to replace Hubble's heart.In 1999, engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center discovered that there was a problem with Hubble's Power Control Unit. Hubble team members came up with a plan to replace the unit on Servicing Mission 3B. On March 6, 2002, the day came to put that plan into action. What could go wrong?Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.

Watch this video on the Goddard YouTube channel. A comet's journey through the solar syste is perilous and violent. Before it reaches Mars - at some 230 million miles away from the sun - the radiation of the sun begins to cook off the frozen water ice directly into gas. This is called sublimation. It is the first step toward breaking the comet apart. If it survives this, the intense radiation and pressure closer to the sun could destroy it altogether.Animators at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. created this short movie showing how the sun can cook a comet. Such a journey is currently being made by Comet ISON. It began its trip from the Oort cloud region of our solar system and is now traveling toward the sun. The comet will reach its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving Day — Nov. 28, 2013 — skimming just 730,000 miles above the sun’s surface. If it comes around the sun without breaking up, the comet will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere with the naked eye, and from what we see now, ISON is predicted to be a particularly bright and beautiful comet. Even if the comet does not survive, tracking its journey will help scientists understand what the comet is made of, how it reacts to its environment, and what this explains about the origins of the solar system. Closer to the sun, watching how the comet and its tail interact with the vast solar atmosphere can teach scientists more about the sun itself. Related pages
