Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth, a study has ...

Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling ...

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...

The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size could do.

A report published in Science Advances details when the asteroid could collide with Earth and the destruction it would cause.

The Bennu samples contain 14 of the 20 amino acids that are essential for life on Earth to build proteins. Also found were ...

The OSIRIS-REx mission returned to the sample to Earth in September of 2023, and these studies show that it contains amino ...

The study "Climatic and ecological responses to Bennu-type asteroid collisions" was published in the journal Science Advances on Feb. 5.
