Bennu is classified as a “potentially hazardous asteroid,” meaning the object is more than 460 feet (140 meters) wide and could theoretically come within 4.65 million miles of Earth.

The OSIRIS-APEX mission, a follow-up to OSIRIS-REx, which successfully returned a sample from asteroid Bennu in 2023, has repurposed the spacecraft to visit a new target, asteroid Apophis.

Eventually, the probe will set down briefly on Bennu in order to snag a sample of its material for return to Earth. The asteroid is absolutely covered in debris, however, posing a serious challenge.
