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.
