Bennu, Earth and asteroid

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.
Bennu isn’t likely to hit Earth — but if it did, here’s what would happen
The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size could do.
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,
Asteroid Bennu still a concern: year of possible impact with Earth and the devastation it would cause
Space agencies around the world are tasked with locating, studying and analysing the trajectories of cosmic objects that pose a danger to life on Earth. Bennu, one of the largest a
Here's what could happen if asteroid Bennu smashes into Earth in 157 years
An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what would this impact mean for life on Earth?
What would happen if the OSIRIS-REx asteroid Bennu smashed into Earth in 2182?
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.
Asteroid Could Devastate Earth In 2182: What to Know
Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth, a study has found.
Asteroid could hit Earth and spark global winter as year of 'impact' pinpointed
Dust and other debris would rise into the atmosphere on Bennu striking Earth, blocking out the Sun and cooling the planet to devastating effect.
