The American Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) spacecraft launched as part of the DART mission collided with the asteroid Dimorphos. Many telescopes, including the James Webb Space Telescope, are expected to detect whether the asteroid’s velocity has changed, paving the way for researchers to determine whether it is possible to prevent large asteroids from colliding with Earth.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.
Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
