Scientists discover ‘Nuclear Ablation’ to save Earth from possible asteroid attacks | But how?

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have figured a way to simulate asteroid defense using nukes, which they call ‘nuclear ablation’. This comes after NASA launched its DART mission last year. The first-ever mission dedicated towards changing an asteroid’s motion in space. NASA’s DART mission successfully redirected an asteroid named dimorphous’ orbit. But, how will nuking the asteroid actually work? And why is it better than DART’s mission? Watch
