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,
What Happens If Asteroid Bennu Crashes into Earth? Scientists Reveal the Deadly Truth
Bennu, which comes closest to Earth every six years at a distance of 299,000 km, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the planet.
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.
Asteroid Bennu's potential impact: How it could reshape Earth
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.
