An asteroid will soon enter Earth's orbit
We will call it mini-moon. All about Earth temporary second moon, asteroid 2024 PT5
There's a new moon on the horizon. The Earth will gain a second, mini-moon on Sept. 29, but it won't stick around too long. Here's what to know.
Will the 'mini-moon' be visible in Tennessee? What to know about asteroid 2024 PT5's time near Earth

How X-rays from Nuclear Blasts Could Save Earth from a Killer Asteroid
To assess whether this technique could actually deflect an asteroid heading toward Earth, the team fed their experimental results into computer simulations. They found that a nuclear blast emitting X-rays detonated a few kilometers from an asteroid, could deflect space rocks up to 4 kilometers wide.
Asteroids Could Be Deflected Using X-rays From Nuclear Weapons
Exploding a nuclear bomb above a huge asteroid could vaporize its surface using X-rays, pushing the space rock away from Earth.
Scientists say X-rays from nuclear explosion may deflect asteroids from Earth
Scientists in New Mexico conducted several experiments and learned that asteroids can be deflected from Earth using explosions of nuclear warheads above the space rock's surface.
