Bennu, Asteroid

NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Could Cause A Global Catastrophe, Scientists Say
Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling suggests.
Scientists predict devastation if asteroid Bennu strikes Earth in 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 (299,000 km) away. It might come even closer in the future,
Asteroid Bennu's potential 2182 impact: Catastrophic climate threat?
Scientists from South Korea have conducted simulations regarding the potential impact of asteroid Bennu on Earth in the year 2182. As reported by Science Alert, the results of the study are alarming,
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?
Asteroid Bennu impact: Potential climate crisis by 2182
Scientists from South Korea have conducted simulations of a potential impact of the asteroid Bennu on Earth in the year 2182. As reported by Science Alert, the study results are alarming and show how severe the consequences of such an event could be for the climate and life on our planet.
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.
What If Bennu Hit Earth? Scientists Unveil a Catastrophic Impact Scenario That Could Reshape the Planet
Scientists have simulated what would happen if asteroid Bennu, a 500-meter-wide space rock, were to collide with Earth in September 2182. The results paint a grim picture—global climate collapse, food shortages,
