Can We Defend Earth from Asteroids? Here's What You Need to Know
- Monday December 2, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Efforts to protect Earth from asteroid impacts have made significant strides, notably with NASA’s DART mission, which successfully altered the orbit of the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in 2022. This achievement marked a key advancement in planetary defence, demonstrating that asteroid deflection is a viable strategy. However, the success of DART al...

Hera Spacecraft Embarks on Mission to Study Asteroid Redirected by NASA in 2022
- Tuesday October 8, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The Hera spacecraft has successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, embarking on an international mission to study the asteroid Dimorphos, which was altered in course by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022. Expected to reach its target by December 2026, Hera will examine the impact crater left by the DART mission and deploy two ...

N-Bomb Can Deflect Life-Threatening Asteroid Hurtling Towards Earth In Future
- Thursday September 26, 2024
- World News | Agence France-Presse
Humanity could use a nuclear bomb to deflect a massive, life-threatening asteroid hurtling towards Earth in the future, according to scientists who tested the theory in the laboratory by blasting X-rays at a marble-sized "mock asteroid".

Nuclear X-rays Could Deflect Asteroids and Protect Earth, Study Suggests
- Wednesday September 25, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have discovered that exploding a nuclear bomb near an asteroid may produce X-rays powerful enough to push it off course. Instead of blowing the asteroid apart, the method involves vaporising its surface to alter its trajectory. Using the Z Machine, the world’s most powerful X-ray source, they successf...

Asteroid Apophis Could Strike the Earth If It Collides With Smaller Space Rocks: Study
- Wednesday September 18, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Earth will have a close encounter with the asteroid Apophis on Friday, April 13, 2029. Also known as the "God of Destruction" after the Egyptian deity of chaos, this massive asteroid will come within 19,000 miles (30,600 kilometres) of our planet, close enough to be visible to the naked eye.

Asteroid Apophis May Still Have a Small Chance of Hitting Earth in 2029, Study Reveals
- Friday September 13, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Recent simulations suggest a very small chance that asteroid Apophis could be deflected onto a collision course with Earth before its close approach in 2029. Although current data points to a safe pass, the risk remains, especially if another space object were to strike Apophis. The odds are extremely low, but a final verdict won’t be available u...
