Defending the Planet: How NASA Supercomputers Capture Hypothetical Asteroid Impacts
Supporting the NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office, scientists in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division's Computational Aerosciences Branch have kept their eyes close to Earth recently—focusing on what might occur if our planet should someday get hit by an asteroid, and what we might be able to do to mitigate the damage.
