The hope is that the collision will nudge Dimorphos into a closer orbit around its 780-meter partner, Didymos, shortening its nearly 12-hour orbital period by a few minutes.
The answer, which should be revealed from the crater and ejecta produced by DART's collision, could determine just how hard to hit an asteroid when the exercise is not a test.

Plus the headlines you may have missed, including heavy flooding in the Upper Midwest and NASA plans to shoot an asteroid with a satellite.
NASA sets date to crash spacecraft in an attempt to deflect asteroid
NASA is planning to crash its Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft into an asteroid on September 26.
It is part of a test to see if scientists can alter the path of Didymos. The small asteroid is a half-mile wide and has an elliptical orbit around the solar system.

An asteroid's collision with a dwarf planet is a similarly extreme event, one with the high temperatures and pressures necessary to create diamonds. Lonsdaleite has also been found in the meteorite fragments left over from the Meteor Crater impact event, which occurred about 50,000 years ago.
