Wow! James Webb, Hubble telescopes to snap NASA’s 500kg DART craft crashing into asteroid
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) will crash a 500kg craft into an asteroid; James Webb, Hubble to capture it.
NASA is all set to make an attempt to deflect an asteroid via the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) on September 26. The process would involve crashing a 500kg spacecraft into binary asteroid 65803 Didymos' moonlet Dimorphous to change its trajectory. And the historic moment will be captured by James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope. The powerful telescopes that are already exploring the space will capture this live view of the moment of impact as NASA will turn them towards the DART impact that will take place at 7:14 p.m. EDT (2314 GMT).
