Scientists at Lab are unraveling the mysteries of Bennu, a 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid, using cutting-edge technology. The ...

Asteroid Bennu, measuring about 1,640 feet in diameter, has a small chance of colliding with Earth on September 24, 2182. Although the probability is only 0.04% (1 in 2,700), scientists have ...

Some 4.5 billion years ago, a monster asteroid around 60 miles wide ... in the Solar System (and beyond). On September 24, 2023, a 4.3-ounce Bennu sample—perfectly preserved within OSIRIS ...

The asteroid Bennu is puzzling scientists, with samples from the space rock showing weirder properties than they expected. These include extremely high nitrogen levels and improbably magnetic ...

Bennu, designated a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid due to its size and Earth-crossing orbit, has a 1-in-1,750 chance of hitting Earth on Sept. 24, 2182. Neither 2024 YR4 nor Bennu are near the ...

NASA stated that studies of rock and dust from asteroid Bennu that were taken by the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security–Regolith Explorer ...

NASA’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft returned 122 grams (4 ounces) of dust and pebbles from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, delivering the sample canister to the Utah desert in 2023 before swooping off after ...

Bennu, one of the largest asteroids, has been the subject of research and simulations in the event of an impact with our planet. Bennu is 500 meters wide and astronomers have predicted a one in ...

New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision ...
