You can watch it live-ish right here at about 3 PM Pacific. > DART was launched last November and has spent the intervening months positioning itself for a perfect shot on Dimorphos, a 525-foot-wide asteroid in orbit around Didymos, half a mile wide (and more the type we’d need to worry about, planetarily speaking). Today is the big day.
