Bernese researchers simulate defense of the Earth



Bern, Switzerland (SPX) Jun 30, 2022
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is the world's first full-scale planetary defense test against potential asteroid impacts on Earth. Researchers of the University of Bern and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) PlanetS now show that instead of leaving behind a relatively small crater, the impact of the DART spacecraft on its target could leave the asteroid near unrecognizable. 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid impact on the Earth likely caused the extinc ... read more
