Here’s How to Deflect a Dangerous Asteroid Without It Totally Backfiring

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-22 03:30:14

In September 2022, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, successfully altering the space rock’s trajectory. The orbital shove demonstrated an asteroid deflection technique that could come in handy if a massive rock were headed in Earth’s direction. As it turns out, however, deflecting a potentially threatening asteroid is only half the battle. Striking an asteroid for deflection purposes could send it back on a collision course with Earth, merely delaying the planet-shatterin

Evidence of Ancient Asteroid Impact and Tsunami Found in North Carolina

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-25 04:00:48

Around 35 million years ago, a small asteroid traveling at 40,000 miles per hour (64,373 kilometers per hour) struck Earth, crashing into the Atlantic Ocean near the modern-day town of Cape Charles, Virginia. The approximately 3-mile-wide (5-kilometer) object created a large impact crater that’s buried half a mile beneath Chesapeake Bay. Hundreds of miles south of the crater, scientists have found new evidence of the asteroid impact and the tsunami that followed the shattering event. Hidden ben

For four years, NASA’s Perseverance rover has searched for possible signs of ancient life on the surface of Mars. It has found myriad interesting features in its travels, including a rock with strange spots, discovered inside Mars’ Jezero Crater. Dubbed “Cheyava Falls,” the 2024 discovery immediately caught the attention of scientists on Earth, as its spots indicated it may hold a potential biosignature—a sign of life. The rover went to work.

Has Perseverance found a biosignature on Mars?

Last year, we reported on the discovery of an intriguing arrow-shaped rock on Mars by NASA's Perseverance rover. The rock contained chemical signatures and structures that could have been formed by ancient microbial life. Granted, this was not slam-dunk evidence of past life on Mars, and the results were preliminary, awaiting peer review. But it was an intriguing possibility nonetheless. Now further analysis and peer review are complete, and there is a new paper, published in the journal Nature

The New Math of Quantum Cryptography

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them will doom most forms of cryptography.
