NASA achieved a resounding success last year when it intentionally crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. The test was a way to deflect potentially hazardous space rocks from hitting Earth. Our next story tells you how this first-of-his-kind planetary defence experiment now has unintended unintended consequences.

When NASA sent its DART spacecraft to slam into the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022, the U.S. space agency demonstrated that it was possible to change a celestial object's trajectory, if needed, to protect Earth. It turns out that this collision changed not only the asteroid's path but its shape as well.

Tibet might be splitting apart as the Indian tectonic plate's upper part is tearing and warping because of constant collision, suggests a new study. A recent study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union showed that the geology underneath the Himalayas, the world's highest mountain range, might be more complicated than previously believed.
