It's finally happening. After roughly a year of anticipation around NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the mission will be executed on Monday night when the spacecraft is expected to crash into its target asteroid.
NASA said on Thursday that the mission — the world's first to test technology for defending the planet against potentially hazardous asteroids or comets — will strike its target asteroid at roughly 7:14 p.m. ET .

Dinosaurs Were Already on Their Way Out Before Asteroid Hit, Another Study Finds : ScienceAlert
But now another study suggests dinosaurs were already on their way out millions of years before the fated meteorite hit, according to an analysis of over 1,000 fossilized eggshells unearthed in central China.
"Dinosaurs went extinct gradually over millions of years, instead of coming to an abrupt end from sudden disasters," study author Qiang Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences told the South China Morning Post .
