A spacecraft blasted off on Monday to investigate the scene of a cosmic crash.
The European Space Agency's Hera spacecraft rocketed away on a two-year journey to the small, harmless asteroid rammed by NASA two years ago in a dress rehearsal for the day a killer space rock threatens Earth. It's the second part of a planetary defence test that could one day help save the planet.
SpaceX's Falcon rocket quickly disappeared with Hera into the late morning clouds. An hour later, applause erupted in the control centre in Germany as the spacecraft separated from the rocket's upper stage and then called home.
