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.
Experts on what could happen if Asteroid Bennu strikes Earth and triggers ‘global catastrophe’
The asteroid, named Bennu, passes close to Earth every six years. It is listed as one of NASA’s “potentially hazardous objects,” ranked third on the Sentry list of potential Earth impact events. The space rock, which stands taller than the Empire State Building, has a one-in-2,700 chance of hitting our home planet on September 24, 2182.

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 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?
