NASA and other world space agencies have been studying this possibility and the forecast for near-earth celestial objects for years. Their efforts helped inform the new film 'Don't Look Up!'

Mission to land on the double asteroid is all set to happen in November. Dubbed as ‘mountain in the sky with another rock the size of the Great Pyramid swinging around it’, is first-ever mission involving the act of a team of astronauts landing on an asteroid to destroy it. ESA said in a statement said the mission will “revolutionise our understanding of asteroids and how to protect ourselves from them”. The heart-stopping mission has been called Hera.

Asteroid impacts are unlikely but potentially catastrophic (just ask the dinosaurs). A new NASA mission has been launched to test the technology that could one day save us.

In "Don't Look Up," researchers warn authorities about a comet hurtling towards Earth. Such a scenario isn’t just science fiction
