In a world first, NASA’s DART mission will smash into an asteroid this morning (27 September), providing the first test of a technique that could be used in the future to redirect any asteroids detected on a collision course with Earth.
- Astrophysicist Professor Jonti Horner is available to comment on the mission and what we’re expected to learn. Media contact: Rhianwen Whitney 0427 428 380 and Neve O’Neill 0447 055 179
