CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — (AP) — The asteroid that got smacked by a NASA spacecraft is now being trailed by thousands of miles of debris from the impact. Their remarkable observation two days after last month's planetary defense test was recently released a National Science Foundation lab in Arizona. The image shows an expanding, comet-like tail more than 6,000 miles (10,000 kilometers) long, consisting of dust and other material spewed from the impact crater. “At that point, the material will be like any other dust floating around the solar system," Knight said in an email Tuesday. ___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

The asteroid that got smacked by a NASA spacecraft is now being trailed by thousands of miles of debris from the impact. Astronomers captured the scene millions of miles away with a telescope in Chile. This plume is accelerating away from the harmless asteroid, in large part, because of pressure on it from solar radiation, said Matthew Knight of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, who made the observation along with Lowell Observatory's Teddy Kareta using the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope.

International Orchestras Return This image provided by Carnegie Hall shows the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko on Jan. 31, 2022, at Carnegie Hall in New York. The Royal Philharmonic traveled with an orchestra manager, tour manager, three stage crew and six assistants, and filled Carnegie’s stage with 104 players. The tour concluded with performances in Fairfax, Virginia; New Brunswick, New Jersey, and finally its return to Carnegie Hall for the first time since 1997. “Cargo is one of the costs that have hit us hard this year,” said James Williams, the orchestra’s managing director. Williams says the Royal Philharmonic tour is proof concerts can proceed safely.

The Royal Philharmonic became the first international orchestra to tour the U.S. since February 2020, completing a 14-concert, nine-city U.S. tour at Carnegie Hall.
