Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the Earth in September 2182, new research has discovered. The IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

NASA spacecraft touched down on the rugged surface of the Bennu asteroid on Tuesday, grabbing a sample of rocks dating back to the birth of our solar system to bring home. The minivan-sized OSIRIS ...

The study "Climatic and ecological responses to Bennu-type asteroid collisions" was published in the journal Science Advances on Feb. 5. 'We're disappointed in the outcome': NASA shares photo of ...

A Bennu-type asteroid could lead to “severe environmental consequences,” researchers write, while acknowledging that a collision is not likely.

New observations of a small asteroid discovered in December have led astronomers to conclude that the chances of it striking ...

The asteroid Bennu has been at the centre of scientific discussions recently, especially after researchers analysed surface samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. While much of the ...

They calculated that there is a very small chance — about 1-in-2700, or 0.037% to be exact — that asteroid Bennu, which is roughly the size of the Empire State Building, could collide with our ...

YR4 became the highest-rated asteroid predicted to strike Earth, and although predictions for impact have lowered, not enough ...
