Not too Early to start planning

What are you doing on Saturday, September 24, 2182? You may want to clear your calendar because scientists think an asteroid may hit Earth.

If Bennu were to hit the Earth, it would slam into the surface at about seven miles per second.It is so big that it could release 1,400 megatons of energy, per a NASA calculation— which is at least 24 times as powerful as the nuclear weapon, the Tsar Bomba.

Thankfully, the chances of this happening are very slim — about 1 in 2,700, per a 2021 study.

Bennu's average diameter is estimated to be about 1,610 feet (or 492 meters).
