Scientists propose nuking dangerous asteroids — but not how Hollywood does it
Scientists have proposed using nuclear weapons to deflect dangerous asteroids threatening Earth, but the method differs sharply from Hollywood depictions — the idea is to nudge the asteroid off course rather than blow it apart. A detonation at a calculated distance could alter the asteroid's trajectory without creating dangerous fragments. Researchers say this approach is more effective than previously considered alternatives.
