Astronomers Are Shocked to See the Targeted Hit of an Asteroid!

It’s a classic Hollywood setting: a gigantic asteroid is hurtling toward Earth and threatens to destroy all life on our home planet. Fortunately, the screen heroes always manage to avert the approaching disaster from space at the last second. What in our days is no more than an imaginary science fiction scenario became a cruel reality for the inhabitants of prehistoric times.

Thus the majority of the experts is sure that the decline of the dinosaurs was heralded by an enormous asteroid, which crashed into the Earth approximately 66 million years ago. With this in mind, a fundamental question arises: what can we do if our terrestrial home is again targeted by a cosmic projectile? Well, in this regard, NASA has recently shown how it can be done.

For example, an unprecedented milestone was achieved as part of the DART mission. How the spectacular bombardment of the asteroid Dimorphos proceeded in detail, and what next steps this exciting mission has in store, we show you in today’s video!
