An asteroid minding its own business not too far from Earth is about to get knocked about by a visitor from our planet.
On Monday, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft, or DART, is set to collide with Dimorphos, a small asteroid that is the moon of a larger space rock, Didymos.

One day about 66 million years ago, a huge rock some 6 to 10 miles wide streaked across the sky of what is modern day Central America, landing in the waters of the Yucatan Peninsula, near Chicxulub, Mexico.
The impact triggered mega tsunamis that swept across sea and land over hundreds of miles and ejected water and debris into the atmosphere.

(NEXSTAR) — Space is, of course, full of asteroids and comets. Those that orbit in our solar system are known as near-Earth objects, or NEOs. Some may pose a future risk to Earth, but NASA is prepared to protect us, and you’ll be able to see proof of that Monday.
First, it’s important to understand NEOs. They’re defined as objects that come within 30 million miles of Earth's orbit, and most are larger than a small football stadium.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test aims to make history on Monday at 7:14 p.m. ET when it slams into Dimorphos, a tiny asteroid moon orbiting the larger asteroid Didymos. The impact, if successful, will slightly change the motion of the asteroid.

At 9.17am on Tuesday (AEST), a $330 million (US) probe will smash to pieces when it crashes into an asteroid. And NASA is doing it all on purpose - in the name of protecting the planet.
The report lists a lot of work including better monitoring to find asteroids to testing potential options for redirecting a potentially hazardous asteroid.

Get ready to see an asteroid's tiny moon for the first time. Then, watch as a spacecraft deliberately crashes into it.
The mission results could shape the way humans respond to any future space rocks with the potential to collide with the planet. Despite this extraordinary event taking place 6.8 million miles (11 million kilometers) away from Earth, we'll get to see it play out in real time.
The DART mission is about to collide with an asteroid.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission, or DART, aims to see if this kind of kinetic impact can help deflect an asteroid posing a threat to Earth.
The DART spacecraft is about the size of a school bus. It has been traveling to reach its asteroid target since launching in November 2021. The spacecraft will arrive at the asteroid system on September 26. Impact is expected at 7:14 p.m. ET.
