So if I read this right, we hit the dude on the right, which is orbiting the bigger dude near the center. We’ll then watch this orbit and see if it changes, due to our collision.

OK, this is going to sound downright silly, BUT . . . every time I see a story like this, the verse(s) verses from Revelation start going through my head. You know, about a “star” called Wormwood falling into the sea and killing either every living thing in the ocean, or 1/3 of the ocean life, I forget which . . .
