Regardless of the outcome, the mission will give astronomers and scientists important data on what the response would be if an asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. No threat exists now, scientists say.
Ten days earlier, DART will release a tiny observation spacecraft that will capture the collision.

NASA found a 'mini-moon' orbiting an asteroid in the outer solar system - BGR
NASA has discovered a new mini-moon on the outskirts of our solar system. The tiny satellite was first noticed by Lucy in March of this year. Lucy , NASA’s asteroid-study spacecraft, has observed multiple asteroids over the past several months.

It is probably such an understatement to say that technology has great helped with space discoveries. Multiple spacecraft have been able to send back countless pictures not just of the Sun, Moon, and the planets in the Solar System but also have distant galaxies, star clusters, and many more.
Dust found on asteroid Ryugu older than our solar system: Study
New Delhi: Scientists have now confirmed the presence of dust grains in Asteroid Ryugu that are older than our own solar system.
The priceless samples of dust were retrieved by the Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft which orbited the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu for two years, the study said, adding that the space probe had begun its mission in 2014.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft that was in close proximity to the asteroid Bennu for over two years, creating this composite image. Newly published UMD research provides insight into the formation of this so-called "rubble pile" asteroid.
If scientists could only peek inside an asteroid, they'd understand its origin and evolution and even garner important clues about how our solar system formed.
