DARTs goal was to shorten an asteroids orbit by at least 73 seconds, although scientists hoped the effect would be more like 10 minutes. But the first calculations are in, and DART blew those milest

NASAs DART spacecraft impacted with an asteroid and the James Webb Space Telescope witnessed it go out with a bang

Debris from NASA's DART Mission left a 10,000 km trail seen by SOAR Telescope. See how the mission's debris looks like, read here now!

The test will help scientists learn how to stop catastrophic asteroid impacts.

The craft traveled 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) and hit just 56 feet (17 meters) off center.

NASA says DART’s planetary defense & asteroid collision test would help earth deflect an asteroid, should one ever happen in the future.

It's humanity's first-ever "planetary defense test."

NASA is about to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid, and you can watch events live beginning at 6PM Eastern..

As NASA slams its DART spacecraft into an asteroid in the first-ever planetary defense test, millions around the world will be watching live.

On Sept. 26, NASA will ram a spacecraft into an asteroid to test techniques that may eventually be needed to prevent a cataclysmic asteroid strike on Earth.
