's DART spacecraft has its sights set on the asteroid Dimorphos that appears like a bright dot in the blackness of space.
Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), a box-shaped space probe, has activated its camera that will capture it crashing into the asteroid at 15,000 miles per hour at 7:14pm ET in an attempt to knock the space rock from its orbit.
