Bennu, asteroid and Earth

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,
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.
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,
Here's what could happen if asteroid Bennu smashes into Earth in 157 years
An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what would this impact mean for life on Earth?
Scientists have predicted what would happen if Bennu were to collide with Earth.
However, Bennu, a 500-metre wide lump of rock, has been located by the boffins and their telescopes and they’ve given it a 1 in 2,700 (or 0.04 percent) chance of hitting Earth. While that may seem small, it’s certainly not zero.
Scientists Simulated Bennu Crashing to Earth in September 2182. It's Not Pretty.
Simulations of a potential impact by a hill-sized space rock event next century have revealed the rough ride humanity would be in for, hinting at what it'd take for us to survive such a catastrophe.
