Earth, Bennu and asteroid

Bennu isn’t likely to hit Earth — but if it did, here’s what would happen
The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size could do.
WATCH — This asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Should you be worried?
A newly discovered asteroid has quickly shot to the top of NASA’s risk list. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, has about a 2.1 per cent chance of hitting the Earth. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the sun. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on Jan. 27 by a telescope in Chile.
