NASA's DART Mission May Create First Human-Made Meteor Shower

Debris from the 2022 asteroid collision could reach Earth and Mars within a decade, new study finds.

DART mission tested asteroid deflection by crashing into Dimorphos at high speed.
Impact generated over 2 million pounds of debris, potentially forming 'Dimorphids' meteor shower.
Small debris may enter Earth's atmosphere and disintegrate within the next 10 years.
Mars could see visible meteors from Dimorphos fragments as early as 2031.
Future missions will further investigate debris trajectories and potential meteor activity.
