International efforts to mitigate asteroid and comet collision risks

Asteroids and comets pose a real threat to Earth, prompting international efforts to identify, calculate trajectories, assess risks, and devise mitigation strategies. The American DART and European HERA missions aim to divert potential collision courses. Israeli experts, including Dr. Uri Malamud and Prof. Hagai Perets from the Technion, are conducting collision simulations and developing advanced methods to enhance accuracy and support solar system exploration.
