Asteroid Bennu seems to have come from a long-lost world on the fringes of the solar system, where saltwater pooled and dried over thousands of years and life’s basic ingredients were widespread ...

In October 2020, a van-sized robotic spacecraft briefly touched down on the surface of Bennu, a 525-meter-wide asteroid 320 million kilometers from Earth.

It formed in the outer solar system, beyond the orbit of Jupiter. Despite its great distance from the sun, Bennu’s parent body remained warm because it contained radioactive elements.

and further observations will refine that orbit to give us a more precise understanding of its potential danger." Here's what ...

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 ...
