For the first time ever, NASA will attempt to modify the orbit of an asteroid - and you can watch it all live.

Teams on NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will target a small asteroid called Dimorphos.

The plan is to use DART to smash head-first into the asteroid, with the hope that it will slow down and avoid a collision with a larger asteroid.

There is apparently no threat to earth from either asteroid, or the planned collision.

The feed will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26. You can tune-in on NASA TV's media channel.
