A nuclear bomb might one day deflect an asteroid and save Earth from a disaster. Here’s how the lab simulation went: Before the asteroid could threaten the peaceful blue planet below, a powerful pulse ...
Following the launch of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) asteroid defense mission in November of 2021, researchers in Switzerland created a simulation that predicts the method of ...
A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...
Could a collision with another object in space set massive asteroid Apophis on a collision course with our planet? This question has been on many minds over the past two decades, but new research ...
Researchers have come up with a methodology ensuring a spacecraft's kinetic impact does not cause an asteroid to collide with Earth in the future. Some space equipment is built with the objective to ...
A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid. A new climate ...
Scientists are meeting this week to figure out how to stop a hypothetical asteroid traveling at 31,000 mph from hitting the Earth. NASA says this is just an exercise and there is no imminent danger of ...
