NASA's asteroid impact mission is set to launch, and you can watch the event and several science briefings live.
The DART is scheduled to launch at 1:20 a.m. On Wednesday, Nov. 24th, a Falcon 9 rocket was launched from the Space Force Base in California.
Live launch coverage will run on NASA Television, NASA's YouTube, the NASA app and agency social media channels. The time is 0530 GMT. NASA will give you access to watch all of the events on this page and Space.com's homepage.
DART has an ambitious mission to hit and change the path of an asteroid. It is expected to collide with an asteroid in fall of 2022. Scientists can use ground-based telescopes to see any effects of dimorphos on Didymos. The European Space Agency is going to do a follow-up mission called Hera.
Don't worry, NASA's DART will hit an asteroid. Earth is not at risk.
