Small backyard telescopes for the win.
Having a network of telescopes across the world made it possible to get observations from these locations, such as Nairobi in Kenya and Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Graykowski works with the Unistellar telescope network to get data from both individual telescope users and science outreach groups like the Traveling Telescope project, which promotes science education around Kenya and which organized a special observation event in Nairobi for the DART impact.
“At the time of the impact, there weren’t a lot of places on Earth where you could observe Didymos, the asteroid” “So that wasn’t just a fluke in the Deep Impact mission — we see it here too,” Graykowski said. Now the question is whether this reddening is in fact an optical effect or whether it could be due to the composition of the asteroid’s surface. “And that would be really cool if it was because that tells us about the material that makes up the asteroids, at least on their surfaces. And the asteroids are some of the oldest bodies in the solar system.
