Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the Earth in September 2182, new research has discovered.

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.

Compared to Bennu, which is about 0.3 miles (0.5 km) wide, the dinosaur-killing asteroid was massive. Medium-sized asteroids like Bennu are more common in the solar system.

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.
