Image Details:

DART impact effect on Dimorphos a week later. Images captured 6 h short of 1 week later with iTelescope T17, 10 x 120 sec. A dust tail still visible as the result of the probes impact. It looks like a small comet with its dust trail as the result of the impact ejecta. It appears that material continues to be ejected from the impact site making the tail continuous to the asteroid,
