A DART view of the Dimorphos asteroid right before impact. NASA via YouTubeThe DART spacecraft, which is about the size of a vending machine, crashed into Dimorphos at 7:14 p.m. "Oh my goodness," said Elena Adams, a DART mission systems engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The DART mission is functioning as a proof of concept of asteroid deflection as a planetary defense strategy. Betts said he hopes the DART mission will continue to raise awareness about the importance of planetary defense.

The mission, known as DART, or the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, will attempt a method of planetary defense that could save Earth from an asteroid on a potential collision course with the planet. On Monday, the spacecraft will crash into Dimorphos at a blistering speed of around 4 miles per second, or 15,000 mph. Ground-based telescopes will be used to time Dimorphos' orbit and determine whether the mission was a success. The Applied Physics Lab built and manages the $325 million DART mission for NASA. Even if the DART mission fails, scientists will learn a lot from the experiment, said Andrea Riley, a program executive in NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office.

An old-fashioned talent agent who loves discussing old movies and doesn't mind pointing out the flaws in his own clients' work, Lourd has become arguably the most powerful person in Hollywood. "He's one of the most powerful people in the history of Hollywood," said Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. But Lourd's clients are such bankable stars that it's equally important for Hollywood executives to be friendly with him as it is beneficial for Lourd and CAA.

Joe Biden a fost confirmat ca președinte ales al SUA de Colegiul Electoral cu scorul final de 306 de voturi față de 232 ale lui Trump.

Procurorii spun că, în luna august, Bartman a înregistrat pe listele electorale două persoane decedate – pe mama sa, Elizabeth Bartman și pe soacra sa, Elizabeth Weihman – ca votanți republicani. El a folosit Numărul de Securitate Socială al soacrei sale, însă sistemul l-a marcat ca aparținând unei persoane decedate. Bartman a completat apoi și formularul respectiv în numele femeii decedate, însă nu a mai solicitat procedura de vot în absență pentru ea. În schimb, încercarea a funcționat în ce privește votul în numele mamei sale, el reușind să îl voteze pe Donald Trump a doua oară, în numele acesteia.
