The planetoid looks like dirt and rock mixed together. Just how hard is the asteroid? Did anyone get a picture of the impact?

OK, so when do we start equipping these spacecraft with
pew, pew, pew lasers?

I saw this live. It was cool.
When will they know if they deflected it?
Did it burst into lots of smaller asteroids some which are now headed to Earth?

That must be the asteroid they used for the beginning of Mystery Science Theater 2000.

It’s probably now on a collision course for earth.
To: Chode
That is probably how asteroids form. Little rocks and dust drift together from their gravitational pull, drawing more rocks and dust from their combined pull, eventually accumulating enough mass to form a lumpy pile of rocks and dust, and after a few million years they are stuck together as an asteroid. If they accumulate enough mass (the result of millions of years of collisions) their gravitational pull is sufficient to make them round planetoids, moons and planets.

I think a recent asteroid probe had to do a touch and go due to the thing just being loose dirt.
