Last month, NASA slammed a spacecraft into the heart of a nearby asteroid, resetting its orbit and conducting the agency's first planetary defense mission.
Now researchers at Stanford and MIT have developed a tool that lays the groundwork for a new, and potentially better, way to blow up asteroids that risk crashing into earth.

Asteroid with huge destructive potential heading for Earth today | Tech News
Asteroids have been found flying closely past Earth recently, but what are they? An asteroid is a terrifying small, rocky object out in space travelling at massive speed and when seen in a telescope, it appears as a point of light, according to NASA.
An asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 TT2, is on its way towards Earth today, October 21. The asteroid was spotted by NASA's Defense Coordination Office, which is responsible for monitoring the skies and keeping a watch on various Near-Earth Objects (NEOs).
Mark Bennett: Planet-saving asteroid test mission shows need for global teamwork | News Columns | ...
Mark Bennett has reported and analyzed news from the Wabash Valley and beyond since Larry Bird wore Sycamore blue. That role with the Tribune-Star has taken him from Rome to Alaska and many points in between, but Terre Haute suits him best.
ESA - Shadow hunters capture Didymos asteroid eclipsing stars
After months of effort, astronomers have succeeded in capturing the momentary shadow cast by the Didymos asteroid, from tens of million km away as it passed in front of far-distant stars – a feat of observation only made possible when both the trajectory of the asteroid and the precise location ...
The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs caused a 'megatsunami' - The Washington Post
Sixty-six million years ago, a nearly nine-mile-wide asteroid collided with Earth, sparking a mass extinction that wiped out most dinosaurs and three-quarters of the planet's plant and animal species.
A study, published in AGU Advances, recently allowed scientists to reconstruct the asteroid's impact. Scientists were able to estimate the extreme effects of the collision, which included a global tsunami that brought flooding around the world.
This Unusual Asteroid Keeps Spinning Faster, And We Don't Know Why : ScienceAlert
Figuring out why Phaethon is behaving this way could give us new insight into a class of asteroids considered "potentially hazardous" – skimming past Earth as they orbit the Sun.
And yet, unlike a comet, it seems to have no ice. Scientists have referred to it as a " rock comet ".
Michelle Chen's curiosity helps lead to new discoveries — including bopping an asteroid - HF ...
As an engineer at the Applied Physics Lab (APL) at Johns Hopkins University, Chen has worked on a host of interesting research projects. Most recently, she was on the team that developed the autonomous navigation techniques for NASA's DART Mission that led to the movement of an asteroid on Sept.
NASA asteroid-sampling mission on track for delivery next year | Space
The spacecraft at the center of NASA's first asteroid sample return mission has altered its trajectory in preparation for its return to Earth next year.
On Sept. 21 OSIRIS-REx spacecraft fired its thrusters for 30 seconds for a course correction. This is the first time the spacecraft carrying a sample of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu has altered its trajectory since leaving the space rock on May 10, 2021.
Hubble spots twin tails coming out of Didymos asteroid after Dart's historic crash - India ...
By India Today Web Desk : Nearly a month after the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission crashed into the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system, the Hubble space telescope spotted twin tails of material coming out of the object.
Analysis of data from the crash has revealed that DART shortened Dimorphos' original 11-hour and 55-minute orbit around Didymos by about 32 minutes.
