Bennu, Earth and Asteroid

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,
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.
Asteroid Bennu Has A Tiny Chance Of Hitting Earth – Which Could Start A Global Winter
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. Bennu is not on the scale of the Chicxulub impactor – which hit the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous and spelled the end of the non-avian dinosaurs and many other species – but it is also not small.
