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,
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,
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?
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 Has A Tiny Chance Of Hitting Earth – Which Could Start A Global Winter
Bennu has a diameter of roughly 500 meters (1,640 feet) and has a 1 in 2,700 chance of hitting our planet in September 2182. Bennu is not on the scale of the Chicxulub impactor – which hit the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous and spelled the end of the non-avian dinosaurs and many other species – but it is also not small.
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.
