A NASA spacecraft is about to clobber a small, harmless asteroid millions of miles away.

During a media briefing on Thursday (Sept. 22), the DART mission team said they are confident that the craft will smash into the asteroid Dimorphos as planned on Monday (Sept. 26).

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is on course to crash into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos on Monday in a historic first test to see if spacecraft can use their kinetic energy to change the orbits of celestial bodies to deflect them from crashing into the earth in the future, NASA ..

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — In the first-of-its kind, save-the-world experiment, NASA is about to clobber a small, harmless asteroid millions of miles away. A spacecraft named Dart will zero in on the asteroid Monday, intent on slamming it head-on at 14,000 mph. The impact should be just enough to nudge

If successful, the test will demonstrate that if a killer asteroid ever heads our way, we'll stand a fighting chance.
