What happens when a golf-cart-sized spacecraft collides with an asteroid? Learn about NASA's daring DART mission.
What Happens If an Asteroid Heads for Earth?
NASA's DART mission successfully altered an asteroid's path, paving the way for future planetary defense against potential Earth impacts.

And in 2029, a 340-meter asteroid called Apophis—after the Egyptian god of chaos and darkness—will pass within 32,000 km of Earth, which is closer than some geosynchronous satellites. This will happen on 13 April 2029—Friday the 13th, that is.
We're cooked

Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it's an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

It gets the clamps. Also, loads more gold, so gold prices plummet.
