Nuclear explosion, asteroid
Nukes Could Save Earth From an Asteroid, Just Not the Way You Imagine
Nuclear devices generate massive amounts of X-rays. A new experiment suggests that might be enough to divert a killer asteroid.
Scientist Nuke an Asteroid in a Lab Mock-Up
A blast of X-rays from a nuclear explosion should be enough to save Earth from an incoming asteroid, according to the results of a first-of-its-kind experiment.
Could nukes deflect an asteroid? ‘X-ray scissors’ offer scientists clues.
“For a one-nanometer fall, we can ignore Earth’s gravity for 20 millionths of a second as Z produces a burst of X-rays that sweeps over the mock-asteroid surface 12.5 millimeters across, about the width of a finger,” said Moore.

Earth now has another moon as small asteroid joins our orbit
Earth has a new “mini- moon ” after an asteroid has joined our orbit. The object, known as 2024 PT5, has been chasing after us for years. Now, it has become close enough to be pulled in by our gravity.
An asteroid will soon enter Earth's orbit as a temporary 'mini-moon'
A school-bus-sized asteroid is expected to spend about two months orbiting Earth as a "mini moon" as it gets temporarily caught by Earth’s gravity.
Earth is about to get a 2nd moon, for 57 days only. Here's what you need to know.
A moonlet from the Arjuna asteroid belt is set to fall into Earth's orbit for 57 days. The school-bus-sized space rock won't return until 2055.
