After DART Smashed Into Dimorphos, What Happened to the Larger Asteroid Didymos? @asrivkin tells me about new observations using JWST to see how the parent asteroid is doing, post-DART impact. https://www.universetoday.com/163895/after-dart-smashed-into-dimorphous-what-happened-to-the-larger-asteroid-didymos/

> That’s the class of stony meteorites which account for over 80% of total meteorite falls on Earth. This means DART’s test was an extremely good proxy for the type of asteroids that might pose a threat one day.
the S type may be most of the ones we know impact earth, but is that necessarily the ones we should worry about, or could there be other types that, while less frequently encountered, would be larger when they reach us, don't break up as much in atmosphere, or be harder to redirect, so that they pose a greater risk overall?
