Researchers used computer simulations to study the impact of an asteroid with the diameter of Bennu (about 500 meters) to ascertain what the fallout of the collision would be. They found that ...

While some are left to worry about Bennu's low probability of impact, the IBS researchers used advanced climate models and the supercomputer Aleph to figure out what would happen after.

So what would happen should Bennu strike our planet? Well, it would not be pretty, according to new research based on computer simulations of an impact by an asteroid with a diameter of roughly ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission reached asteroid 101955 Bennu. Two years later, the spacecraft snagged a sample of its surface, ...

Now, they’ve simulated what will happen to us all if Bennu, a hill-sized piece of space ... One for your calendar: a potential impact would occur in 157 years and come in September of the ...

Because even though Bennu is unlikely strike us, study lead author Lan Dai of the IBS Center for Climate Physics says there are about 5,000 objects of similar size. That is to say, even if it’s ...
