Bennu, Earth

Simulation reveals what will happen if asteroid Bennu crashes to Earth
Researchers predict that a collision with the asteroid Bennu would plunge Earth into a year's long 'impact winter'.
What Happens If Asteroid Bennu Crashes into Earth? Scientists Reveal the Deadly Truth
Bennu, which comes closest to Earth every six years at a distance of 299,000 km, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the planet.
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,
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.
Scientists Simulated Bennu Crashing to Earth in September 2182. It's Not Pretty.
Simulations of a potential impact by a hill-sized space rock event next century have revealed the rough ride humanity would be in for, hinting at what it'd take for us to survive such a catastrophe.
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.
Asteroid Bennu contains the stuff of life, sample analysis reveals
Rock and dust samples brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu contain organic matter and a variety of minerals crucial to the emergence of life
Experts on what could happen if Asteroid Bennu strikes Earth and triggers ‘global catastrophe’
A 500-metre-wide asteroid could strike Earth in 157 years and set off a chain of events that could plunge the planet into winter and devastate plant life, according to new research. The asteroid, named Bennu,
