NASA 's DAD was launched almost one year ago to test a new method of planetary defence by crashing the dark spacecraft into a Near Earth object.

If successful, the kinetic impact would slow Dimorphous a tiny amount and permanently alter its orbit permanently.

DAT completed its mission when it crashed into Dimorphis on September 20, 2210 .

Time lapse video shows the final 5.5 minutes of Dart 's final trajectory.

The impact released 19 giga joules of energy, the equivalent of 5 tons of TNT , and blasted a crater up to 150 meters wide in the asteroid surface.

The closest images of the crash scene were captured by Lychia Cube and Ichir Cube .

Hubble and the Webb telescope also got in on the action.
