The Armageddon movie's scenario of humanity saving itself from an Earth-bound asteroid just became reality with NASA's successful DART mission.

Five scientific publications published in Nature confirm that the DART spacecraft successfully changed the course of an asteroid called Dimorphos.

It's official: Humankind has reached Armageddon movie level capabilities.

We can potentially defend planet Earth from incoming asteroids.

Scientists from the NASA DART team have been analyzing the data collected from last year's mission, and they've now published five papers in Nature explaining the details of DART's results.

The research publications state that, yes,

the method can be used to defend Earth if ever an asteroid big enough to kill us all heads our way.

The spacecraft smashed into the asteroid at a speed of six kilometers per second and hit 25 m from its center.

This was a huge factor in the mission's success since it maximized the force of impact.

According to the studies, the collision had managed to eject 1 million kilograms of rock from Dimorphos.

The scientists involved in the study warned we will need a sufficient warning time, though ideally decades or at least several years at a minimum, to mitigate such a threat.
