Armageddon, Don't Look Up… There are many science fiction films where humanity is threatened by the impact of a giant asteroid. Is there any truth to these stories? Should we be worried?

Josep Manel Carrasco, ICCUB astronomer, tells us the details of the DART mission to divert an asteroid from its orbit as a pilot test of planetary defence in the Onda Cero radio program "Julia en la Onda".
