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 ...

Scientists from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission recently delivered remarkable findings about asteroid 101955 Bennu after the mission returned its samples to Earth in 2023.

The asteroid Bennu has been at the centre of scientific discussions recently, especially after researchers analysed surface samples collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. While much of the ...

Bennu, an asteroid the size of the Empire State Building, has a 1-in-2700 chance of hitting Earth in 2182. 'Fuel-free space travel': NASA engineer claims discovery that defies physics 'Galactic ...

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 ...

In 2016, NASA embarked on a new and unique mission: sending the Osiris-REx spacecraft to rendezvous with the asteroid Bennu to study the rocky space object and collect samples to return to ...

It is now accepted that under the influence of solar radiation pressure, the absorption, reflexion and re-emission of radiation can cause asteroids to change the rotational motion around their own ...

Bennu, one of the largest asteroids, has been the subject of research and simulations in the event of an impact with our planet. Bennu is 500 meters wide and astronomers have predicted a one in ...
