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

Researchers are unlocking secrets of our solar system by analyzing asteroid Bennu samples, some of the most pristine ever ...

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 ...

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. The IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

A sample of dust and rocks from an asteroid just took us closer to an answer. Collected from Bennu, a space rock shaped like a spinning top, as it soared by Earth roughly five years ago, the samples ...

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every ...

They calculated that there is a very small chance — about 1-in-2700, or 0.037% to be exact — that asteroid Bennu, which is roughly the size of the Empire State Building, could collide with our ...

The asteroid Bennu is a celestial body with an average diameter of about 560 meters that was discovered in 1999. It is said that it will approach Earth many times over the course of about 200 ...

If the near-Earth asteroid Bennu were to collide with Earth in the future, the space rock could cause substantial global damage, even though it’s a fraction of the size of the asteroid that ...

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