Why hello there! As you can see, I am Vox Rationis (Latin for Voice of Reason, formerly Vox Causa). I live in Ormond Beach, Florida, and I am currently attending Mainland High School. I have an avid love for physics, but also enjoy computer gaming, swimming (I am a member of my high school swim team) and Wikipedia. If you want to tell me something, leave me a note on my talk page, but nothing malicious, because I will probably delete it as vandalism. My current projects are listed below.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects. The target object, Dimorphos, is a 160-meter-long (525-foot) minor-planet moon of the asteroid Didymos. DART was launched on 24 November 2021 and successfully collided with Dimorphos on 26 September 2022 while about 11 million kilometers (6.8 million miles) from Earth. The collision shortened Dimorphos's orbit by 32 minutes and was mostly achieved by the momentum transfer associated with the recoil of the ejected debris, which was larger than the impact. This video is a timelapse of DART's final five and a half minutes before impacting Dimorphos, and was compiled from photographs captured by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO), the spacecraft's 20-centimeter-aperture (7.9-inch) camera, and transmitted to Earth in real time. The replay is ten times faster than reality, except for the last six images, which are shown at the same rate at which the spacecraft returned them. Both Didymos and Dimorphos are visible at the start of the video, and the final frame shows a patch of Dimorphos's surface 16 meters (51 feet) across. DART's impact occurred during transmission of the final image, resulting in a partial frame.Video credit: NASA / Johns Hopkins APL
As you may see, I am a member of several groups throughout Wikipedia. Most notably, I belong to Stub Sorting and the Counter Vandalism Unit. The CVU is the more important of the two, as it is responsible for keeping Wikipedia {relatively} free of blatant vandalism. Stub Sorting is also a necessary group, as many of the group aren't doing the job, and we now have a backlog of over 3000 stubs to be sorted...Please join if you have the patience, we need help!

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.
Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.
The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:
