Astronomers from NASA are closely monitoring ‘Bennu,’ a massive cosmic object measuring 1,610 feet in width. Asteroid Bennu Bennu is estimated to be taller than the Empire State Building in New York City and, if it were to impact Earth, it could release a staggering 1,200 megatons of energy. Despite NASA's assessment of a low likelihood of collision with Earth, …

After seven years of expedition and logging over 6.2 billion km, mothership Osiris-Rex has succesfully delivered rubble from an asteroid, Bennu, situated at such a distance from Earth that it is believed to come ‘dagerously close’ to the planet by next century which may lead to a possible collision. Undated image provided by NASA shows the asteroid Bennu seen from …

Scientists ‘surprised’ to find that Sun ages some asteroids much sooner than earlier thought

The Independent  

“Surprised” scientists have discovered that the Sun’s heat likely fractures rocks on asteroid Bennu in only 10,000-100,000 years, an advance suggesting space rocks age more rapidly than earlier thought. High-resolution images of rock fractures on asteroid Bennu taken by the Osiris-Rex spacecraft were analysed by researchers, said the study, published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience. Using data from the …

Deflecting asteroids like Bennu may require 'multiple bumps'

Daily Mail  

Deflecting an asteroid such as Bennu, which has a small chance of hitting Earth in about a century and a half, could require multiple small impacts from some sort of massive human-made deflection device, according to experts. Although there is a slight chance Bennu will smash into Earth over the next three centuries, NASA notes there is more than a …
