In earlier sci-fi, deflectors for diverting meteoroids out of a spaceships path show up in "The Ethical Equations by Murray Leinster, published in "Astounding Science Fiction" in 1945. Lawrence Krauss, in his book "The Physics of Star Trek," supposes that to bend light (or phaser beams), deflector shields would have to warp space-time around the starship. But if warp drive is possible, deflector shields that work this way are perhaps also possible."

The huge blast meant to scientist an opportunity to study the moon and the frequency of its hits relative to its position in space. "We'll be keeping an eye out for signs of a repeat performance next year when the Earth-Moon system passes through the same region of space" Cooke explained. "Meanwhile, our analysis of the March 17th event continues."
