Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of hitting Earth in the year 2182.

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles away. It might come even closer in the ...

The seismic signature of a fireball meteoroid event can be used to tell whether the fireball fragmented or remained intact as ...

Bennu was also an attractive target because it skirts the asteroid belt, which circles the sun between Mars and Jupiter. At its closest, the asteroid is 200 million miles from Earth. While still a ...

Back to Article List Bennu isn’t likely to hit Earth — but if it did, here’s what would happen Although classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, Bennu probably won't hit Earth.

Astronomers estimate that Bennu has a 1 in 2,700 chance of affecting Earth in September 2182, which equates to a 0.037% chance. The asteroid, which contains the building blocks of life according ...

Because this asteroid will zoom by Earth in 2029, a detailed study of its trajectory will deliver even further restrictions on the fifth force than what Bennu could provide.

NASA says that asteroid Bennu could crash into planet earth in September 2182. NEW YORK -- An asteroid NASA's been tracking for nearly 25 years could impact Earth in the future, a new report reveals.

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles (299,000 km) away. So what would happen ...
