At some point in the future we’ll say “we were warned”… this was the first warning we got about feckin’ about with asteroids:

When NASA deliberately smashed the asteroid Dimorphos with the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft back in 2022, it was seen as a technological triumph because it demonstrated that humans have the ability to redirect a space rock that poses a threat to Earth.

That’s all well and good, but it looks like that smashing event also had some unintended consequences: debris from the asteroid may be headed back to Earth in the first ever man-made meteor shower, according to researchers in Spain and Italy.
