NASA and ESA simulated an asteroid impact on New York, during which a kinetic strike failed to prevent a cosmic-scale catastrophe.

Scientists have confirmed the effectiveness of a distant nuclear explosion for protection against asteroids. Modeling showed that detonation at an altitude of 10-25 meters destroys 98% of the cosmic body.

Chinese scientists have proposed a radical way to save Earth: blowing up asteroids from the inside. 🔥 A 3-megaton charge detonated at a depth of 30 meters is capable of destroying a celestial body with a diameter of 100 meters. 🚀

Chinese scientists have proposed a new method to protect Earth from asteroids: instead of a surface explosion, they suggest drilling a crater and detonating the charge inside the rock. The study shows that this is the only way to effectively destroy large objects threatening the planet. 🌍💥🚀
