Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a modeling tool for assessing the potential use of a nuclear device to defend the planet against catastrophic asteroid impacts.

A new model is building on DARTs success to show how a nuclear weapon could smash a space rock to pieces.

The agency also plans for the spacecraft to attach a target marker to the asteroid in an effort to gain a greater understanding of such bodies.

The Planetary Science Journal published a study called 'X-Ray Energy Deposition Model for Simulating Asteroid Response to a Nuclear Planetary Defense Mitigation Mission.' It notes that in...

Scientists have discovered that many asteroids have the consistency of piles of rubble. Knowing this, how could we defend Earth against one of these asteroids?

Scientists have discovered that many asteroids have the consistency of piles of rubble. Knowing this, how could we defend Earth against one of these asteroids?

It will be a year filled with exploration, innovation, wonder—and no shortage of risk.

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Dec 07, 2023 - HyperScout H, developed by cosine, has a rich history in Earth observation, but its origins lie in planetary science. Now, its returning to its roots as an integral part of the European Space Agenc

If a mile-wide asteroid is discovered hurtling toward Earth, our survival might depend on launching 1,000 spacecraft — or one well-placed nuke.
