Bennu, Earth and asteroid

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,
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,
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.
Climate chaos: How an asteroid strike would change life on Earth
An asteroid strike could cool the planet's climate, harm crops, and disrupt food supply, but it may also increase plankton growth in oceans.
Eiffel Tower-sized asteroid set to hit Earth in 2082 could result in 'prolonged winter'
NASA classifies Bennu as a medium-sized asteroid, measuring about one-third of a mile (500 metres) across. While far smaller than the six-mile-wide asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, it still poses a significant threat.
