On August 31, local time, according to US media reports, a new study found that rock debris generated when the NASA “Double Asteroid Retargeting Test” spacecraft hit a near-Earth asteroid in 2022 may form an artificial meteor shower that can last for 100 years. Research shows that the debris will reach the vicinity of Earth and Mars within 10 to 30 years and produce visible meteors as it penetrates the atmosphere.
