Meanwhile, Australia’s lucky mascot, Bruce the Emu, has mysteriously vanished from the team village. NASA tested a real-life asteroid defence plan by crashing a spacecraft into a space rock called Dimorphos. Scientists say even a tiny nudge could stop a dangerous asteroid from hitting Earth someday.
