The first of its kind mission was meant to see if crashing into an asteroid would be able to divert its path, should one ever head toward Earth.

Scientists and engineers erupted in applause when their screens froze on a final image, indicating that the signal had been lost and the impact had taken place

NASAs DART spaceship struck the asteroid Dimorphos in a historic test of humanitys ability to prevent a cosmic object from devastating life on Earth.

The DART mission will crash into the space rock at 7:14 p.m. ET, but a live stream of images captured by the spacecraft is available as of 6 p.m. ET.

A NASA spacecraft slammed into an asteroid at blistering speed Monday in an unprecedented dress rehearsal for the day a killer rock menaces Earth.
