US Scientists Demonstrate Revolutionary Method To Deflect Asteroids Using Nuclear Explosion

Researchers harnessed the power of X-rays from a nuclear blast to vaporise the surface of a asteroid Asteroid collisions with Earth are surprisingly common, with NASA estimating 48.5 tonnes of meteoric material entering our atmosphere daily. Most burn up, producing shooting stars. Although devastating asteroid impacts are rare in Earth’s history, humanity has learned a…
