The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size ...

Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...

In September 2023, we reported on the conclusion of the first phase of the OSIRIS-Rex (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) as its return sample ...

Scientists recently completed computer simulations of what would happen to Earth if it were impacted by an asteroid with a ...

Samples from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission show the asteroid Bennu had organic molecules and minerals and possibly salty water and other life ingredients.

In a recent study, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea ...

After initially arriving at the space rock known as Bennu in early December, the spacecraft ended 2018 by successfully entering orbit around the object, making Bennu the smallest body ever orbited ...

researchers found evidence that Bennu comes from an ancient wet world, with some material from the coldest regions of the solar system, likely beyond the orbit of Saturn. The asteroid contained a ...

One of them, Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth in September 2182, the researchers note. If that happens, the researchers suggest, major long-term changes would occur on Earth ...

After 7 months in space due to technical failures, Sunita Williams struggles to walk, faces bone loss, and weight issues.

If the near-Earth asteroid Bennu were to collide with Earth in the future, the space rock could cause substantial global damage, even though it’s a fraction of the size of the asteroid that ...
