Asteroid deflection using foil, illustration
Asteroid deflection using foil, illustration. This asteroid is an example of a near-Earth object (NEO), an astronomical object whose orbit intersects with that of the Earth. Asteroids are rocky bodies orbiting within the solar system. They vary in size from tens of metres across to more than a hundred kilometres across. Large asteroids (over a kilometre across) impacting the Earth can cause mass loss of life. It is thought that this is what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. This asteroid has had a foil coating applied to cause gradual deflection to its trajectory due to the pressure of sunlight.
