"Humanity 1, Asteroids 0": NASA Craft Deliberately Crashed Into Asteroid
A NASA spacecraft successfully crashed into an asteroid approximately 6.8 million miles (10.9 million kilometers) from Earth in a test to determine if the impact can nudge the space rock slightly off course.

NASA DART Spacecraft Successfully Slams Into Asteroid Dimorphos in First Planetary Defence Test
NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

NASA Aims to Redirect Asteroid in DART Mission's First Attempt at Planetary Defence
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, will attempt to alter the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos, on September 26. The US space agency is set to create history when it crashes a spacecraft into the asteroid, attempting to deflect it from its trajectory. A tiny moon of the asteroid Didymos, the asteroid Dimorphos is an ideal target for NA...

Can We Really Deflect an Asteroid by Crashing Into It? Nobody Knows, but We Are Excited to Try
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft crash into asteroid Dimorphos at 24,000 kilometres per hour on September 26. Launched from Earth in November 2021, DART is about the size of a bus and was created to test and prove our ability to defend the Earth from a dangerous asteroid.

NASA to Crash Spacecraft Into Asteroid to Deflect Its Path Later This Month
NASA is gearing up for the launch of its first planetary defence test, which will involve a spacecraft intentionally crashing into an asteroid to impact its trajectory. The US agency has filled the spacecraft with fuel, performed some final tests, and is running rehearsals for the final mission. Named Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the mi...

Fossils Show World-Wide Catastrophe On The Day Dinosaurs Died
Sixty-six million years ago, a massive asteroid crashed into a shallow sea near Mexico. The impact carved out a 90-mile-wide crater and flung mountains of earth into space. Earthbound debris fell to the planet in droplets of molten rock and glass.

This Asteroid Almost Certainly Isn't Going To Crash Into Earth And Kill Us All
Earth, meet Bennu: In 2018, humankind will visit the asteroid with a spacecraft designed to bring samples home. If you believe what's trending on Google right now, you might think that Bennu is going to follow up and visit us just a few years or decades later. Spoiler alert: That's probably not going to happen.
