Bennu, Asteroid and Earth

Asteroid Bennu could trigger a global winter lasting more than 3 years and here’s what’s known
A report published in Science Advances details when the asteroid could collide with Earth and the destruction it would cause.
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 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,
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,
NASA Identifies Asteroid Bennu's Earth Trajectory
NASA's watchful eye on the skies has recently spotted asteroid Bennu, a celestial body with a slim chance of impacting Earth. According to a study published in Science Advances, Bennu's odds of striking are 1 in 2,
NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Could Cause A Global Catastrophe, Scientists Say
