Thanks for the informative video.
Any chance you'll do a video about the upcoming Psyche mission, sending a probe to the asteroid Psyche, which appears to be a cooled hunk of a former planet's nickel-iron core in the asteroid belt?

Amazing video and coverage of the event!
I just got here from search on YouTube about the DART mission.

Where would you all be archiving the mission images and data from the Observatory? And will the data be available to the public?

Cool! It will be interesting to learn what happens with the mission. If a big asteroid was on an collision course with Earth, approximately how far in advance are we likely to learn about it? Enough time to put together a mission like this (if this works)?
