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 asteroids have long been a concern for scientists studying planetary threats. As of September 2024, more than ...

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.

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.
