Japan's aerospace agency sent a remote device packed with explosives to an asteroid earlier this month. Here's what happened.

JAXA sent a remote device packed with explosives to the asteroid earlier this month. It blasted an artificial crater into Ryugu's surface to try and learn more about the composition and formation of the space rock.

Unlike the surface of the asteroid, which has been exposed to space for billions of years, the crater uncovers untouched material from the earliest days of the asteroid. JAXA tweeted that it expects the crater to lead to"new advances in planetary science".[CRA2] This is the navigation image received on April 25 at 08:45 JST. The spacecraft altitude was at 2600m. The real-time relaying of the navigation images will end at this point.

I could be wrong, and by all means call me Mr Picky, but I rather suspect that it's a Japanese spacecraft being hit by an asteroid.

Can it have the butterfly effect and hit the earth in 2-3 billion years?

Have you been involved in a crash that wasn't your fault... then call..

Only 186 miles from earth, its in Cornwall then?

Better than them hitting Pearl Harbour I suppose 😳
