Earth, asteroid and Bennu

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.
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,
Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032
The asteroid warning network is affiliated with the United Nations. Officials activate the IAWN when an asteroid bigger than 10 meters has a greater than 1 percent chance of striking Earth within the next 20 years. The risk of 2024 YR4 meets this threshold.
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.
