Next 26 Sept. 2022, after a 10-month long journey, the Nasa’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft will reach the climax of its mission. It will impact on Dimorphos, the satellite of asteroid (65803) Didymos, to test its deflection by kinetic impactor. We will show you the target asteroid live, to hopefully spot any brightness increase after the collision!

This online event is possible thanks to collaboration with a couple of Observatories in South Africa, details soon.

The live feed is scheduled for 26 Sept. 2022, starting at 22:30 UTC.
