Can a Nuclear Bomb Really Save Earth?
Original: Can a nuclear bomb really save Earth? Scientists are testing the unthinkable
Researchers are studying whether detonating a nuclear device could deflect a large asteroid on a collision course with Earth, an idea once confined to Hollywood films. French science media are revisiting the concept as planetary defence gains serious attention, with scientists weighing nuclear options against slower alternatives like kinetic impactors.
Why now: Planetary defence against asteroids is a topical subject as space agencies test deflection technologies.
