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

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 ...

On Oct. 20, 2020, a robot spacecraft took a sample of surface dust from asteroid Bennu. On Sept. 4, 2023, as it passed by the earth en route to asteroid Apophis, it dropped off a capsule carrying that ...

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 ...

Rock and dust samples from the Bennu asteroid contain molecules that are the "key to life" on Earth, NASA officials announced on Wednesday.

NASA is using its most powerful space telescope to study the true size of the "city-killer" asteroid that has a one-in-43 ...

and the resulting water reacted with rock to produce minerals that scientists have observed in meteorites and from the 2-year orbit around Bennu. "There was a surprise," according to McCoy ...

In 2020, Nasa’s Osiris-Rex mission collected 120 grammes of dark minerals from the surface of Bennu, a carbon-rich asteroid in near-Earth orbit. As it swooped past Earth in 2023, the spacecraft ...
