NASA is going to try to change the path of an asteroid in hopes of being able to save Earth from destruction some day.
First off, NASA wants us to know that currently there are no asteroids heading toward Earth. For this experiment on trying to change the path of an asteroid, they have picked out an asteroid they can observe but poses no threat to Earth.
Crime-scene technique identifies asteroid sites -- ScienceDaily
Analysing the charred remains of plants can confirm the locations of asteroid strikes in the distant past, new research shows.
Based on estimates of crater-producing asteroid strikes in the last 11,650 years (known as the Holocene), only about 30% of impact sites have been located.
Huge asteroid twice the size of Big Ben set to smash into Earth's orbit this month - Daily Star
Given the catch name of 2008 RW , the giant space rock only comes close to earth once ever three or four years.
But its latest flyby is going to be closer than ever before – and it looks set to crash into our orbit.
It is set to hit our orbit on September 13 at 1.50am, and will be travelling at around 10 kilometres per second.
West Godavari: After Asteroid, Nidadavolu Girl Kunchala Kaivalya Reddy Discovers Planet Fragment
Kunchala Kaivalya Reddy, a class 10 student from Nidadavolu in West Godavari has created yet another record. A planet fragment was discovered in an important asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Kaivalya said that this asteroid was identified by analyzing the space shadow images taken with the help of Pan-STARRS using a special software.

A Post-Impact Deep Freeze for Dinosaurs - Eos
The long-term environmental consequences of this, or any future, asteroid impact remain foggy, but new fingerprints from atmospheric sulfur help cut through the haze.
In 1980, geologist Walter Alvarez and his father, Luis, a Nobel Prize–winning physicist, first proposed that a collision with an extraterrestrial object wiped out the dinosaurs.

Watch NASA slam a spacecraft into an asteroid
DART, which stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, will slam a small spacecraft into a moonlet known as Dimorphos orbiting a near-Earth asteroid called Didymos. NASA hopes to redirect Dimorphos' orbit with the maneuver.
Monday, September 12 at 9 a.m. EDT NASA will host a hybrid media day at its Applied Physics Lab. The event will showcase the technology making NASA's DART test possible. NASA says it will share more about the event closer to the date, but that's all we know for now.
