The asteroid system poses no threat to Earth, NASA officials have said, making it a perfect target to test out a kinetic impact -- which may be needed if an asteroid is ever on track to hit Earth. A live stream of images captured by the spacecraft will be available on NASA's website beginning at 5 p.m.

Going to be using a spacecraft called d.a.r.t., the double asteroid redirection test, and what were going to see tonight, and boris, we are actually going to see it live. there are cameras beaming back live images mounted on to the spacecraft. were going to see it as it smashes into this asteroid called at a speed of 14,000 miles per hour. so thats nasas first challenge, right, theyve got to find this asteroid and slam this refrigerator sized spacecraft into an asteroid thats about the size of o...
