Earth, asteroid and Bennu

New NASA imagery shows large asteroid that could impact Earth in 2032
A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.
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.
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,
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,
NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Could Cause A Global Catastrophe, Scientists Say
Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling suggests.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.
This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.
There's a 1.9% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's almost a 99 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
Earth braces for potential asteroid impact in 2032
An asteroid has a one in 83 chance of hitting Earth in just over seven years. While most space rocks pass by harmlessly, this one, known as 2024 YR4, which is about half the size of a football field,
NASA Announced Increased Chance of Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032. Internet Is Hilariously 'Rooting for the Asteroid'
NASA's estimated chance that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2032 was raised from 1.6% to 1.9%, with the news pulling some dark humor into its orbit.
Asteroid hits level 3 on Torino Scale with 1% chance of Earth impact
YR4 reaches level 3 on the Torino Scale, giving it a 1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
