Technical / Google Search gets an easter egg to celebrate planetary defense system NASA DART

Technical | Many Easter eggs or secret search terms are found on the search engine company Google, which have a fun effect on the screen as soon as you search. One such effect has been included in view of the success of the US space agency NASA's DART mission. Those searching about this mission on Google are getting to see the explosion of a satellite in a fun way.

NASA's DART spacecraft is designed to defend Earth from meteorites and its first test has been successful. This spacecraft collided with a meteorite named Dimorphos on September 27 at 4:44 am and the mission was successful. This was the first test of our planet's Planetary Defense System, which is being seen as a big achievement.

Have to search on Google 'NASA DART'

You have to first search by going to Google search and typing 'NASA DART'. You can search by typing it in both small or capital letters. As soon as you type and enter, an animated satellite will appear from the left side of the screen and it will explode. The whole screen will then tilt to the right, indicating that the satellite has hit your screen.

NASA shared the video on Twitter

The video of Google's Easter Egg has also been shared with NASA's official Twitter account. NASA wrote, "Your Google search could turn up something bang! You'll have to search 'NASA DART' on Google and you'll see a glimpse of, oh, your planetary defense in the browser."

Why is NASA's DART mission important?

Every year many meteorites move towards the Earth or pass very close to it. If such a meteorite collides with the Earth's surface, it can mean great devastation. This is the reason that the team of NASA scientists has prepared the protection system of our planet and such meteorites can be destroyed in space itself.
