It will take 2 yrs for the next set of satellites to get there to do an actual investigation of the asteroid.

To me it almost looks like it passed through it, or at least debris passed through. DART apparently dropped a little camera satellite once it got close and that captured some shots, but they didn't want it too close because it might get damaged by debris. They are still analyzing the images from that second satellite.

The video is from a telescope.
Ah, was wondering about the poor resolution for an accompanying craft. Looking forward to those shots then. I figured they could drop a small camera/craft, just hadn't seen mention of it (but didn't read a lot of info either). I was just assuming the asteroid was the much larger/more visible object than the relatively small refrigerator sized object they crashed....
