Faster asteroid deflection model raises new impact concerns
Original: Improved asteroid deflection model runs faster, reveals more doomsday worries
Researchers have unveiled an improved asteroid deflection model that runs significantly faster than previous versions, allowing more scenarios to be tested. The quicker simulations have reportedly surfaced additional worrying cases where deflecting a dangerous asteroid might be harder than assumed, renewing discussion about planetary defence readiness.
Why now: A new modelling capability suggests planetary defence against asteroid impacts may face more difficult scenarios than previously thought.
