On Thursday, NASA and the European Space Agency released new images taken by the Hubble and James Webb telescopes showing the moment the DART spacecraft crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos.

The effort to capture the instant of the impact, as well as earlier and follow-up imagery of the crash site, marks the first time Webb and Hubble have made observations of the same target at the same time. 

These images, Hubble on left and Webb on the right, show observations of the Didymos-Dimorphos system several hours after NASA's DART intentionally impacted the moonlet asteroid

The images are captured in different wavelengths of light, with Hubble showing the impact in visible light and Webb using an infrared instrument
