To help defend Earth from potentially hazardous asteroids and comets, we developed the #PlanetaryDefense Strategy & Action Plan. We’re eager to work with >@WHOSTP in implementing it. https://go.nasa.gov/3mI3MlZ

Note: There are no known asteroid impact threats for 100+ years.

RT by @NASA: At @NASA we have dedicated teams who watch the skies to make sure we are safe from hazardous asteroids.

Today's asteroid flyby is one of the closest ever recorded, but our #PlanetaryDefense experts have been tracking the asteroid and know it's not a threat to Earth.

Kia ora #astrodon #planetaryscience .
I like thinking about small worlds in the Solar System, #interstellar objects, how to find them and how to visit them; currently with #DARTmission learning more about #PlanetaryDefense .
On the local side of things planetary, musing about #spacesustainability, from rockets to satellites to dark skies.

tokumeiAsan RT @AsteroidWatch: Near-Earth #asteroid 1994 PC1 (~1 km wide) is very well known and has been studied for decades by our #PlanetaryDefense experts. Rest assured, 1994 PC1 will safely fly past our planet 1.2 million miles away next Tues., Jan. 18.

Launch of the @SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying the DART spacecraft - starting a nearly one-year journey to crash into a distant asteroid as a test! Keep checking back for more images! #DARTMission #PlanetaryDefense More: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX9x1oZ

LIVE NOW: The #DARTmission is about to launch 🚀

This #PlanetaryDefense test is scheduled to lift off from @SLDelta30 at 1:21am ET (06:21 UTC) on its nearly one-year journey to crash into an asteroid. Send your questions with the hashtag #AskNASA. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZloedWDJB

The upcoming movie “Don’t Look Up” is a fictional story about a doomsday comet, but our #DARTMission is a real spacecraft that will deflect a non-threatening asteroid as a test of #PlanetaryDefense.

Hear from director Adam McKay as he compares the two.

COMING UP: #DARTMission launch! 🚀

Our first test of #PlanetaryDefense is set to lift off at 1:21am ET (06:21 UTC) to attempt to change the motion of a non-threatening asteroid. Tune in at 12:30am ET (05:30 UTC) for live coverage: http://nasa.gov/live

The @SpaceX Falcon 9 carrying the DART spacecraft is vertical on the launch pad at @SLDelta30 in California! Launch is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 1:21am ET (Nov. 23 at 10:21pm PT) #DARTMission #PlanetaryDefense More 📷: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmX9x1oZ

Why are we crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid more than 6 million miles away?

Get the details on #DARTMission, our upcoming #PlanetaryDefense test—and tune in next week for live mission coverage: https://go.nasa.gov/3x7ZMvR

🎯 #DARTMission is less than a week from liftoff!

We'll have live launch coverage of our first #PlanetaryDefense test mission starting at 12:30am EST (05:30 UTC) on Nov. 24, with prelaunch events all week long. Here's how you can watch: https://go.nasa.gov/3DpQTjJ

We've just opened the virtual @NASASocial for our upcoming #DARTMission!

Join us online for behind-the-scenes updates from NASA's first #PlanetaryDefense test mission before DART lifts off later this month: http://go.nasa.gov/3wGqZFO

Our #DARTMission, the world’s 1st #PlanetaryDefense test mission, will crash into an asteroid far away from Earth to slightly change its motion.

🚀 The spacecraft is fueled, final tests are underway, & liftoff is set for Nov. 24 UTC. Get up to speed: https://go.nasa.gov/3nRAsG8

We're crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid… on purpose! Our #DARTmission is a #PlanetaryDefense test to change the motion of an asteroid in space, so we could use this technique if an Earth-threatening asteroid were found. Watch Behind the Spacecraft: http://go.nasa.gov/2ZenQjS
