WASHINGTON - NASA on Tuesday said it had succeeded in deflecting an asteroid in a historic test of humanity's ability to stop an incoming cosmic object from devastating life on Earth.

The DART spacecraft's collision changed a harmless asteroid's orbit more than expected, suggesting the technique could work if we need to deflect a real killer space rock.

A spacecraft that plowed into a small, harmless asteroid millions of miles away succeeded in shifting its orbit, NASA said Tuesday in announcing the results of its save-the-world test.

NASA smashed a spacecraft into an asteroid in an attempt to throw it off course. The mission succeeded beyond expectations, officials said.

It took days of telescope observations to determine how much the impact altered the asteroid's path around its companion, a bigger space rock.
