NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Could Cause A Global Catastrophe, Scientists Say
Bennu’s highly unlikely impact with Earth—which could happen in 157 years—could cause a global winter and drought, modeling suggests.
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,
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.

NASA Announced Increased Chance of Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032. Internet Is Hilariously 'Rooting for the Asteroid'
NASA estimated probability that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2032 was raised from 1.6% to 1.9%, with the news pulling some dark humor into its orbit.
There's a 1.9% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's almost a 99 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
