A spacecraft under the DART mission is set to clash with tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos. The spacecraft is roughly the size of a small car, will strike the smaller body at about 4 miles per second on September 26, 2022.

DART's target is the binary, near-Earth asteroid system Didymos, composed of the roughly 780-metre diameter "Didymos" and the smaller, approximately 160-metre size "Dimorphos", which orbits Didymos.

NASA released a revised version of its 'Moon to Mars' objectives late on Tuesday.

Then, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter flew over the estimated impact site to confirm the location.

Apart from 2005 RX3, the four asteroids which are headed toward Earth this week are 2020 PT4, 2022 QD1, 2022 QB37 and 2022 QJ50.

Artemis I teams have completed repair work to the area of a hydrogen leak in one of the rocket's engines.

Multiple troubleshooting efforts to address the area of the leak by reseating a seal in the quick disconnect where liquid hydrogen is fed into the rocket did not fix the issue.

It is an ambitious plan of NASA to send humans to the Moon for the first time in over five decades.

NASA Mission managers met to discuss data and develop a forward plan to address issues that arose during the launch attempt for the flight test.

NASA said in a tweet that the launch was currently in an unplanned hold as engineers spotted an issue with one of the rocket's engines.

Artemis I will lay the foundation for a sustained long-term presence on and around the Moon.

Not just red rocks and craters we saw in the popular science fiction film 'The Martian' starring Matt Damon, Mars has several volcanic rocks composed of large grains of olivine -- the muddier less-gemlike version of peridot that tints Hawaii's beaches dark green, NASA's rover Perseverance has discovered.

Webb's unmatched infrared sensitivity has now confirmed the presence of carbon dioxide on a planet named 'WASP-39 b' as well.
