NASA’S DART ASTEROID IMPACT PROBABLY WON’T SPARK METEOR SHOWERS ON EARTH
However, there might be some activity visible from the Red Planet

Debris from the impact of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) with the asteroid Dimorphos could reach Earth D and Mars, astronomers have concluded. However, while the debris could result in meteors on Mars, it’s rather unlikely we’ll see a meteor shower on Earth. DART slammed into Dimorphos on 26 September 2022 with the intention of testing whether a kinetic impact could nudge the orbit of a potentially hazardous asteroid away from Earth one day. The test passed with flying colours: Dimorphos was pushed into a shorter orbit around its parent asteroid, Didymos.
