An artificial meteor shower? 🤯 After NASA’s DART spacecraft impacted the Dimorphos asteroid in 2022, scientists discovered that small particles might travel towards both Mars and Earth! While these meteoroids pose no threat, they could create a human-made meteor shower in the future. Our Hera mission is on its way to investigate further to improve our understanding of planetary defense. 📹 @europeanspaceagency 📸 @agenziaspazialeitaliana / @NASA / APL
