Could nukes deflect an asteroid? ‘X-ray scissors’ offer scientists clues.
“For a one-nanometer fall, we can ignore Earth’s gravity for 20 millionths of a second as Z produces a burst of X-rays that sweeps over the mock-asteroid surface 12.5 millimeters across, about the width of a finger,” said Moore.
Asteroids Could Be Deflected Using X-rays From Nuclear Weapons
Exploding a nuclear bomb above a huge asteroid could vaporize its surface using X-rays, pushing the space rock away from Earth.
Nuking an asteroid could save Earth from destruction, researchers show in 1st-of-its-kind X-ray experiment
A powerful burst of X-rays from a nuclear explosion could be used to stop Armageddon just in the nick of time, a new experiment suggests.
Scientists say X-rays from nuclear explosion may deflect asteroids from Earth
Scientists in New Mexico conducted several experiments and learned that asteroids can be deflected from Earth using explosions of nuclear warheads above the space rock's surface.
X-rays from a nuclear explosion could redirect an asteroid
Scientists have found nuclear weapons could actually help deflect an incoming cosmic impact — not by blowing an asteroid up, but by showering it with X-ray radiation.
Could an X-ray pulse save Earth from an asteroid strike?
Researchers theorize X-rays from a nuclear explosion could be used to vaporize an asteroid's surface, altering its trajectory.
