Originally Published 1 year ago — by Ynetnews
Israeli researchers from the Technion are contributing to the international effort to divert asteroids from potential collision courses with Earth. They are part of the HERA mission, conducting collision simulations and developing a new compression curve to enhance accuracy. Their work aims to support the exploration of small bodies in the solar system and address questions about the early formation of the solar system, the presence of water, and the potential commercial impact of asteroids and comets.
