Here’s some good news for fans of shooting stars. Rocky debris blasted away from the tiny asteroid Dimorphos when NASA’s DART spacecraft intentionally slammed into it in 2022 could create the first human-made meteor shower known as the Dimorphids. New research suggests fragments will arrive in the vicinity of Earth and Mars within one to three decades. “This material could produce visible meteors as they penetrate the Martian atmosphere,” said lead study author Eloy Peña Asensio.

#SciArtSeptember has started and today's prompt is "starry". I made two quite small pieces that were inspired by a talk in a planetarium show that got me wondering what it might look like if there were neurons in outerspace.

"We finally know how the mysterious Geminid meteor shower originated
(...) NASA scientists who analyzed data from the space agency’s Parker Solar Probe have now finally found the most likely answer to the mystery of how the Geminids formed: a catastrophic event. “The Geminids may have formed via a more violent, catastrophic destruction of bodies that transited very near to the Sun,” the scientists said in a study recently published in The Planetary Science Journal."
