TL;DR Summary

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a swarm of boulders that were potentially shaken off the asteroid Dimorphos following NASA's DART experiment. Ranging in size from three to 22 feet across, these boulders are drifting away from the asteroid at a slow pace. The observations provide valuable insights into the impact of the DART mission and the behavior of asteroids. The upcoming Hera spacecraft will further study the aftermath of the experiment and determine the size of the impact crater.
