🛰️ This is only a test – of planetary defense. Today, our #DARTMission is set to crash into a non-hazardous asteroid to test deflection technology, should we ever discover a threat. Impact: 7:14pm ET (23:14 UTC). Watch our LIVE broadcast at 6pm ET: youtu.be/4RA8Tfa6Sck

Go DART Go! Less than an hour away, a now autonomous NASA DART is processing its own images to steer itself into asteroid Dimorphos.

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

Since we reduced the orbital period of Dimorphos by 32 minutes, I just imagine little microbes being like “it just feels like I have so much less time in the day” to each other

a robot takes a picture of a helicopter on another planet then sends the picture to a spacecraft orbiting the planet which sends it to giant antennas on our planet and they put it up on a network that spans the globe

Morning all... ✅ The countdown for the launch chronology for Ariane 5 #VA260 started a few hours ago at 0:200 CEST. The ESA's Juice mission spacecraft was switched on and first checks made. Weather check and Go/NoGo for fuelling coming up (pic: ESA/CNES/Arianespace/ OptiqueVidéoCSG)
