CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists have fine-tuned the path of the asteroid Bennu and say the odds of it smacking into Earth are higher than previously thought but still quite low.

NASA says that asteroid Bennu could crash into planet earth in September 2182. NEW YORK -- An asteroid NASA's been tracking for nearly 25 years could impact Earth in the future, a new report reveals.

In 2018, it arrived at Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid as wide as the Sears Tower is tall. The mission collected pieces of the asteroid and brought them back to Earth in 2023.

A sample from the asteroid Bennu, the subject of the 2016 OSIRIS-REx mission, and a “near-Earth asteroid,” has arrived at the Field Museum.

A Close Call with a Big Rock Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered in December 2024. Soon after, experts calculated that it had a 1.3% chance of striking Earth on December 22, 2032.

Earth is no longer at risk of a direct collision with the asteroid 2024 YR4, but an impact on the moon in 2032 could send debris hurtling towards our planet that could take out orbiting satellites ...

NASA’s sample return mission to the asteroid Bennu, Osiris-Rex, pulled off the same feat in 2020. China’s space agency has executed two successful sample return missions to the moon — in ...
