Bennu isn’t likely to hit Earth — but if it did, here’s what would happen
The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size could do.
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu could hit Earth in 157 years and set off a global ‘impact winter,’ study says
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global winter that affects our planet for years.
Here’s What Would Happen If Asteroid Bennu Hit Earth
Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar system, and we need to be prepared for what could come. A first-of-its-kind study simulated the planet-wide damage that would be caused by Bennu’s unlikely impact,
NASA: 1.6% chance newly discovered asteroid will impact Earth in 2032
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has declared a 1.6% chance that a large asteroid would strike the Earth when on Dec. 22, 2032.
WATCH — This asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Should you be worried?
A newly discovered asteroid has quickly shot to the top of NASA’s risk list. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, has about a 2.1 per cent chance of hitting the Earth. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the sun. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on Jan. 27 by a telescope in Chile.
This Newly Discovered Asteroid Could Impact Earth. Here's What to Know
The asteroid is rated at a 3 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale, a tool used for categorizing potential impacts. That means 2024 YR4 merits attention from astronomers, the public a
