We've been watching "Starman" cruise through space in his cosmic Tesla Roadster for a week now.
But on Terms of serviceValentine's Day, Elon Musk's shrewd payload from SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket will disappear into deep space — and you can watch it happen live.
SEE ALSO: What SpaceX's Falcon Heavy launch means for the future of spaceflightStreaming live via the Virtual Telescope Project, an Italy-based project dedicated to streaming real-time telescope footage online, you'll be able to see Musk's Tesla Roadster disappear from view.
In a live event scheduled for Feb. 14, beginning at 7:15 a.m. ET (4:15 a.m. PT, 12:15 a.m. UTC, 11:15 p.m. AEDT), robotic telescopes will capture the Roadster in its final visible stage.

It'll be the last time we see Starman and his cosmic Roadster, carried into orbit by SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, which launched its maiden flight and landed two of its three main boosters back on Earth on Feb. 7 — we were there.
Where will he end up? SpaceX apparently originally planned for the Roadster to end up orbiting through the solar system, getting pretty close to Mars every so often — and we know Musk has big Mars plans.
According to Musk, it appears the Roadster will instead overshoot these estimates, and keep driving on until the asteroid belt. But Jonathan McDowell, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, thinks Musk's wrong. By his calculations, it will make it beyond Mars, but not to the asteroid belt.

A few astronomers have been tracking Starman over the last week, including Virtual Telescope Project astronomer Gianluca Masi, who caught the Tesla in space on Feb. 8.
Via GiphyMusk himself posted a final photo from the Roadster after launch last week, so while we won't be seeing anything of this detail, you'll still get to see the vehicle disappear from the telescope.
