Bennu, Earth and asteroid

What would happen if the OSIRIS-REx asteroid Bennu smashed into Earth in 2182?
Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of hitting Earth in the year 2182.
Here’s What Would Happen If Asteroid Bennu Hit Earth
Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar system, and we need to be prepared for what could come. A first-of-its-kind study simulated the planet-wide damage that would be caused by Bennu’s unlikely impact,
Scientists predict devastation if asteroid Bennu strikes Earth in 2182
The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles (299,000 km) away. It might come even closer in the future,
Here's what could happen if asteroid Bennu smashes into Earth in 157 years
An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what would this impact mean for life on Earth?
There’s a tiny chance the asteroid headed for Earth could hit the moon
YR4 does smash down on the lunar surface, the explosion might be visible from Earth and would leave a new crater on the near side of the moon
An asteroid has a very small chance to hit Earth. What happens if it does?
Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
