•No, NASA's DART asteroid impact probably won't spark meteor showers on Earth — but maybe on Mars
77% Informative
DART, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test , slammed into Dimorphos on Sept. 26, 2022 .
The impact, which gouged a crater in the asteroid, also ejected a large amount of debris.
The main simulation modeled 3 million particles, split into size groups of 10 centimeters ( 3.9 inches ), 0.5 cm ( 0.2 in) and 30 microns with velocities up to 500 meters ( 1,640 feet ) per second .
However, given the tiny size of these particles reaching Earth , they would not create a visible meteor shower.
The debris that could create a meteor shower on Mars in 2035 comes from the northern part of the impact site.
The smaller, fast-moving particles that might reach Earth would come from the southwestern part.
The research is available as a pre-print on the paper repository arXiv.com.
