Saturn at opposition/Dart Impact
Looks like next Monday, September 26 will be a busy night!
Around 7 PM tune in live to NASA for the DART program where the rocket will be sent into an astroid to knock it off course and you can watch that live at 7 PM on NASA.
I also put a link on the Forum for that but I will also post a countdown link here as well.
Also Saturn is the opposition and they said it’ll be the closest and 50 something years let’s hope everyone has clear sailing for that night!
Here is the link about DART

Here’s the live countdown to impact Dart watch it live
Here is the article from nasa about Saturn

Re: Saturn at opposition/Dart Impact
I am as well my friend !
They had a conference a few days ago about the hydrogen leak and I think they were going to run a test a loading test to see if it holds up.
I’ll have to go look at the details about that but yeah I’m very excited too I just hope they get it off the pad!
Here’s the link to the test but it’s 9 hours long and I don’t know the outcome!
