NASA's Spacecraft Successfully Crashes On Asteroid

Monday, NASA successfully executed an experimental mission to deviate an earth-bound sizeable space rock to prevent it from hitting the planet. At 7:14 p.m. ET, mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, announced that the U.S. space agency's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into Dimorphos, the asteroid moonlet of Didymos.
