Details:
Looking like the Solar System's tiniest comet, this is asteroid 65803 Didymos and the debris from its satellite - the DART-impacted Dimorphos. This image was captured remotely, at 6 o'clock this morning, using iTelescope T72 (20" CDK) in Chile and under challenging conditions (full Moon and twilight!).
