On October 11, NASA said it had succeeded in deflecting an asteroid. This was possible due to a test of humanity's ability to stop a cosmic object from destroying life on the Earth, reported AFP. On September 26, the refrigerator-sized Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impactor purposely smashed into the moonlet asteroid Dimorphos.
