Effect of impactor on orbit
The following makes no sense to me, and is not clarified by either of the citations provided:

"Dimorphos will then circle Didymos at least 73 seconds faster than before, so that its orbit is shortened by 10 to 20 minutes"

If anyone can make sense of this, please provide an edit that makes better sense. Otherwise, delete the confusing sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.66.133.19 (talk) 22:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I removed the strange 73 seconds and wrote at least 10 minutes based on the existing references. --mfb (talk) 00:55, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Image time
According to the video it should be 20 seconds, was this a 10 seconds error in their calculation (because of size etc.)? Habitator terrae (talk) 00:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The 30 seconds wasn't the exact time, just the rough time frame for it. It'd be great for us to go back and retime it to get the actual time calculations. EnzoTC (talk) 00:14, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Mirrored images
Note that the NASA ~live footage of DART mission impact had flipped imagery, see https://www.nasa.gov/feature/dart-s-final-images-prior-to-impact. However, in some NASA galleries they have already fixed it. —Mykhal (talk) 17:03, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
