Spacecraft's impact changed asteroid's orbit around the sun in a save-the-Earth test, study finds
A new study has found that an asteroid NASA used for target practice a few years ago was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun. It's the first time that a celestial body's solar orbit was deliberately changed. Scientists reported Friday that the 2022 impact by the Dart spacecraft not only trimmed the asteroid's orbit around its bigger space rock companion, but also around the sun. Researchers say their findings could help divert an incoming killer space rock given enough advance…

Je présume que c’est exactement pourquoi on a ajouté cette alinéa dans la révision de la Loi sur les constructions:
«L’autorité compétente n’est pas responsable des dommages causés par la violation par les maîtres de l’ouvrage et leurs représentants des prescriptions de la présente loi.» (art. 5, al. 37 LC VS)
Comme disait Goethe: «So fühlt man absicht, und man ist verstimmt.»
