Dear colleagues and amateurs, are you sure it was “a Smashing Success»?... Briefings, emotional interviews, impressive photos, PR-type publications - all this can be important for discussions and conclusions in politics, but not in science. Before the appearance of publications in peer-reviewed journals with detailed data and analysis of the collision consequences for Dimorphos`s orbit, there is nothing to discuss seriously and essentially. The following must also be taken into account. One million kilograms of ejected fragments is only less than one percent of the total mass of the target. Since the ejection was "fan-shaped", its effect was most likely extremely insignificant, especially with a completely inelastic reaction for impulse transmission to Dimorphos, which is a loose pile of rubble, stones and dust, but not a monolithic rock. Finally, during photometric and radar observations, nature can played a «cruel joke» with observers who used the mutual eclipses of Didymos and Dimorphos to determine of its orbit changes. The matter is that an asymmetric and optically dense ejection of large asteroid fragments could partially remain in the orbit together with Dimorphos for a long time. With a small value of its first cosmic velocity around of 4 cm/s, this is quite probable and is confirmed by video animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfqVqOl9S9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfqVqOl9S9w. In turn, this could lead to optical-geometric distortions in the measurements of the difference between the moments of mutual eclipses due to the displacement of the photometric center with respect to the center of gravity. Using only different types of eclipses, occurring after 6 hours, lead to distortions of around 30 minutes, which could be interpreted as a real change in orbital period.
