On Thursday at 1pm EDT (1700 UTC), get a live preview of the #DARTMission, our first test to see if we can change the course of an asteroid. DART will crash into a small asteroid 6.5 million miles from Earth and measure the effect on its motion. Tune in: https://t.co/gtbo67VJIz https://t.co/daxLGhGAVR — PolitiTweet.org

@frankmachin1 Great question! Our expert answered at 07:40 in this video: no, DART will slightly change the speed of the smaller asteroid, which will stay in orbit around the larger asteroid Didymos. It can't change the orbit in a way that would be threatening to Earth: https://t.co/WfV4SKLI7A — PolitiTweet.org
