The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size ...

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every ...

Scientists recently completed computer simulations of what would happen to Earth if it were impacted by an asteroid with a ...

Researchers are unlocking secrets of our solar system by analyzing asteroid Bennu samples, some of the most pristine ever ...

The near-Earth asteroid Bennu poses a potential threat of collision with Earth. New research shows that an impact could cause drastic climate changes, leading to 'impact winter' and severe ozone ...

One of them, Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth in September 2182, the researchers note. If that happens, the researchers suggest, major long-term changes would occur on Earth ...

They calculated that there is a very small chance — about 1-in-2700, or 0.037% to be exact — that asteroid Bennu, which is roughly the size of the Empire State Building, could collide with our ...

Planetary scientists have discovered organic matter essential to life in dust and rock retrieved from an asteroid known as Bennu. The finding supports the theory that near-Earth asteroids ...

NASA OSIRIS-REx sample collection event at Asteroid Bennu saw the spacecraft plunge its arm into the surface. Find out how deep it went. Credit: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center ...

Analysis of samples taken from the asteroid Bennu reveal the presence of organic compounds important for life, and that its parent asteroid probably contained salty, subsurface water. Collected by ...
