Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid ...

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...

Asteroid Bennu, the size of the Empire State Building, has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2182, potentially triggering ...

In an update issued on February 7, NASA said the probability of 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth had gone from around 1.2 percent (one-in-83) to 2.3 percent (one-in-43).

In 2018, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission reached asteroid 101955 Bennu. Two years later, the spacecraft snagged a sample of its surface, which has since been returned to Earth. Now, astronomers are ...

Bennu has a diameter of roughly 500 meters (1,640 feet) and has a 1 in 2,700 chance of hitting our planet in September 2182.

In a recent study, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea ...

Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the Earth in September 2182, new research has discovered. The IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

The Bennu samples contain 14 of the 20 amino acids that are essential for life on Earth to build proteins. Also found were ...

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 ...

While the odds of Bennu impacting Earth may sound alarming, they're not entirely unexpected. "On average, medium-sized asteroids collide with Earth about every 100–200 thousand years.
