NASA has launched DART, a first-of-its-kind mission to alter the path of an asteroid by deliberately crashing a spacecraft into it.
The mission's goal is to crash a space probe into the asteroid in order to change its speed and course and prevent it from colliding with the Earth.
DART stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test.
On November 24, 2021, the $325 million DART mission was launched into orbit atop a Space-X Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The mission's goal is to test asteroid-deflecting technology.
