One of those is asteroid Bennu, the recent lucky target of an asteroid sample collection mission. In a mere 157 years – September of 2182 CE, to be precise – it has a chance of colliding with Earth.

A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid.

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...
