Graphic issued by Nasa of the Orbital diagram from CNEO's close approach viewer showing BU's trajectory - in red - during its close approach with Earth. Then asteroid will pass about 10 times closer to Earth than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites, shown in green line. An asteroid the size of a small truck will pass by Earth tonight, making one of the closest approaches to the planet ever recorded.

NASA DART mission: why was a spacecraft flown into an asteroid

Undated handout artist impression issued by Nasa of its Double Asteroid Redirection Test or Dart. Nasa has successfully crashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid as part of a planetary protection test mission. While this asteroid - named Dimorphos - posed no threat to Earth, the aim of the mission was to demonstrate that dangerous incoming rocks can be deflected by deliberately smashing into them.
