Same video as before of ATLAS observing the DART impact, but tracked sidereally (with the stars). Each frame is about 40 seconds, and the entire sequence is about two hours.

Here are the first images taken by #LICIACube of #DARTmission impact on asteroid #Dimorphos. Now weeks and months of hard work are now starting for scientists and technicians involved in this mission, so stay tuned because we will have a lot to tell!

ATLAS observations of the DART spacecraft impact at Didymos!
