Scientists have improved their forecast of the orbital path of Bennu, ... Page 14 of the New York edition with the headline: Asteroid’s Path To Brush Earth, But Not Soon, NASA Reports.

Bennu is also expected to pass closer to Earth than the moon in 2135 and if it does, our planet's gravitational pull could put it on the path to striking Earth on September 24, 2182.

If Bennu did slam into Earth, it wouldn’t wipe out life, dinosaur-style, but rather create a crater roughly 10 to 20 times the size of the asteroid, said Lindley Johnson, NASA’s planetary ...

Scientists now have a much better idea of Bennu's path thanks to NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft which recently collected samples from the space rock.

Scientists have fine-tuned the path of the asteroid Bennu and say the odds of it smacking into Earth are higher than previously thought but still quite low.

The bad news is the space rock has a slightly greater chance of slamming into us than previously thought. But the chances of that are still pretty low for the next century.

The good news is that scientists have a better handle on asteroid Bennu’s whereabouts for the next 200 years. The bad news is that the space rock has a slightly greater chance of clobbering Earth than ...
