The risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth seems to be creeping up as astronomers gather more data, but does that mean we should be scrambling to prepare for an impact in 2032?

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.

An steroid up to 300ft wide now has a 2.2% chance of colliding into Earth. It could prompt a space mission to intercept it.

Scientists from South Korea have conducted simulations of a potential impact of asteroid Bennu on Earth in the year 2182. As reported by Science Alert, the results of the study are alarming and show how severe the consequences of such an event could be for the climate and life on our planet.
