Caption: Figure 4.

Sequence of merged images showing the ejecta during the flyby phase. Panels (a)–(c) show pre-C/A views, with LICIACube inside the ejecta cone. Filaments can be seen moving in front of Didymos as the viewpoint changes. Panels (d)–(f) show the post-C/A views, after the spacecraft moved outside the cone. In panel (d) the viewpoint is nearly perpendicular to the cone axis, in panel (e) the viewpoint extends along the edge of the cone, and in panel (f) the cone is visible entirely surrounding Dimorphos. Images have been scaled to a common spacecraft range. The black regions are the sections of the image outside the edges of the detector.
