A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid.
An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact ...
An asteroid strike could cool the planet's climate, harm crops, and disrupt food supply, but it may also increase plankton ...

Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling ...
World could be plunged into cold and dark that would radically alter how we find food – but there is reason for hope, ...
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.
Simulations of a massive asteroid, as wide as the Eiffel Tower is tall, suggest Earth could face catastrophic consequences, ...
