Here is a reconstruction of 's impact on minor-planet moon Dimorphos, as observed by the Italian cubesat LICIACube, which is in orbit around near Earth asteroid Didymos.

The reconstruction assumes 's camera was centered on and so we see move with respect to its moon. Without knowing the exact geometry of bodies and camera at the moment of the impact this is just one of many possibilities.
