Some Information About DART Mission


DART Mission Space view

DART stand for Double Asteroid Redirection Test. Firstly we need to know about what is dart mission ?what are the benefits from this mission ? and last what are the goals of this mission ?
This mission is the first mission which demonstrating the method of asteroid deflection by changing motion of two asteroids in space by generating kinetic impact between them. 
Mission is launched by NASA on 24th November 2021 from Vandenberg Space Force Based on a board of Space X Falcon 9 Rocket. 

DART Mission works to deflecte the orbit of asteroids 

DART will orbit the sun just outside the earth’s orbit for ten months there it is waiting for the Didymos (a asteroid system) is 780 m in diameter. It has a moonlet the Dimorphos 160 m in diameter. Which is the actual target of DART . 

How DART Mission works 

If it successfully change them moving direction or deflect the orbit of asteroid  then the mission is successful and it help in different way. 
This first full mission is dedicated to the safety of earth from the asteroids. According to some scientist there will be a chance of collision with earth in future. We already know if a bigger size of asteroid collide with earth there will be a mass extinction of life from the earth.
Goal of this mission is to change the direction of moving asteroid or deflect the orbit of two moving asteroid by generating a kinetic impact between the asteroid or the planet and asteroid. It will also test our planetary defence capabilities.

About James Webb Space Telescope

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE  JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE Firstly we need to know about the space telescope. It is a telescope which is placed in outer space and used to observe astronomical objects. And also used to study different types of light phenomenon like Aurora lights and to study hottest and most explosive object. Currently, NASA had launched a space telescope named as JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE [JWST] . It was made by international collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. It works as a replacement of Hubble Space Telescope. JWST was launched on 25 December 2021 on Arian Flight VA256. Firstly it was named as Next Generation Space Telescope and after some time name change to James Webb Space Telescope. There are some properties of JWST are Mass- 6161.4kg , Dimensions- 20.197m×14.162m , Power- 2KW. It operates in a Halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point, approx 1500000km beyond Earth orbit a...

Lifecycle of a star : Birth to Death

STARS AND PLANETS  Star A star is a luminous and biggest object in the universe that emit light naturally. Sun is also a star. The study of birth , life and death of a stars is called stellar evolution. First stage in the birth of star is called protostar and the death of star is called supernova .  FORMATION OF A STAR BY CLOUD OF DUST How stars are formed ? Stars are made by cloud of gases and dust that scattered throughout the galaxies. The cloud of dust is called the orion nebula . As gravitational force of attraction applied on cloud they collapses and when cloud collapse the material at the center get heat up so that all stars and planet have high temperature at core. A star build by continuous process of gravitational pull cloud collapse to make its size bigger. The size of star (or mass of a star) reaches from  15 to 130 solar masses . At center the temperature gets extremely high, it tigger the fusion reaction. All the material that has fallen in then evolves int...

AURORA: THE LIGHT OF POLES

Space view of Aurora Lights  Firstly, we need to know about the aurora. Auroras are the light which is produced naturally by collision of charge particles with gasses molecules present in the atmosphere. Predominantly sun in high latitude region like arctic and Antarctic. This light produces always at poles because magnetic field of earth is stronger on the poles and also the density of magnetic field lines is high there. Thus, a large number of charge particles found at the poles. The charge particles collide with the gasses to making them excited that cause  coloured visible light. When the charge particle collides with oxygen molecules then green light is emitted mostly but sometimes it produce red light and when collides with nitrogen molecules then more pink , orange or red colours emitted. Different types of Aurora Light seen on different places  These light appearing near the North Pole and South Pole. Scientist name these light as at North Pole light called “ A...
