Iran’s footballers seek safety;  NASA nudges an asteroid; an emu at the Paralympics; and a library filled with ants!

Five Iranian women footballers made a brave choice after their tournament in Australia. Worried about punishment back home, they asked Australia for asylum.

At the Winter Paralympics in Italy, Aussie snowboarder Ben Tudhope won silver — even after dislocating his shoulder! 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.

Scientists have created a huge online collection of 3-D ant scans called Antscan. Using powerful X-ray machines, they captured detailed images of over 2,000 ant species.
