Bennu, Earth and asteroid

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 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,
Scientists have predicted what would happen if Bennu were to collide with Earth.
However, Bennu, a 500-metre wide lump of rock, has been located by the boffins and their telescopes and they’ve given it a 1 in 2,700 (or 0.04 percent) chance of hitting Earth. While that may seem small, it’s certainly not zero.
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,
What Happens If Asteroid Bennu Crashes into Earth? Scientists Reveal the Deadly Truth
Bennu, which comes closest to Earth every six years at a distance of 299,000 km, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the planet.
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?
