NASA's DART Captures One of Night Sky's Brightest Stars

Summary

Description
English: NASA's DART Captures One of Night Sky's Brightest Stars

The DART team intentionally captured the star Vega just out of frame of its high-resolution DRACO camera in a test to see how light scatters off the camera's various parts. The halo-like glow around the star's edge is a result of the light scattering off DART's various internal parts.
