Nasa's DART asteroid unlocks complex history of twin space rock targets; see pics

Nasa's DART spacecraft captured detailed images of asteroids Dimorphos and Didymos just before it deliberately crashed. The impact was part of a mission to gain new insights into these celestial bodies. Dimorphos, the smaller companion asteroid, has a surface covered with rocks of various sizes. Although Dimorphos lacks significant cratering, it features several cracks or "faults" across its surface.
