Researchers predict that a collision with the asteroid Bennu would plunge Earth into a year's long 'impact winter'.

A team of researchers have now modelled what will happen to the planet, climate and humans if this asteroid crashes on Earth in the year 2182.

The asteroid, named Bennu, passes close to Earth every six years. It is listed as one of NASA’s “potentially hazardous ...

"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," ...

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.

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...

Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...

Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.

An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what ...

"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.
