Bennu orbits the Sun with a period of 1.19 years (435 days) as of 2022. [3] Earth gets as close as about 480,000 km (0.0032 au) from its orbit around 23 to 25 September. On 22 September 1999 Bennu passed 0.0147 au from Earth, and six years later on 20 September 2005 it passed 0.033 au from Earth. [1]
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.
When could 2024 YR4 hit Earth, and should we be concerned? Based on projections, the asteroid has little more than a 1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. For context, 2024 YR4 rates at a ...
This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance, ...
Studying Bennu is imperative because the asteroid has a slim shot of eventually hitting Earth. NASA said in a 2021 paper from the OSIRIS-REx science team gives Bennu a [one-in-2,700] chance of ...
The lists below are based on the close approach database of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in its state as of 27 February 2025. [2] The database lists any approaches with a minimum distance less than 0.2 astronomical units (AU) from 1900 and until a century into the future which have been derived by orbit calculations.
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. So what would happen ...
