- The Hera spacecraft has been launched to visit the asteroid Dimorphos, which NASA intentionally deflected in 2022.
- The mission aims to understand the physical properties of asteroids and develop methods to mitigate the threat of dangerous ones.
- Dimorphos, a 160-meter-wide moon, had its path altered by a NASA probe's collision.
- While there is currently no threat of mass extinction from asteroids, scientists hope to identify and deflect smaller asteroids in the future.
