“New asteroid “Bennu” can hit the earth. It has a chance.” NASA said.
It is at a distance of over 100 million miles approximately from Earth and is acorn shaped.
A NASA spacecraft reported that an asteroid is 500 m wide. It also reported size, shape, mass and composition.
It has collected a sample of rocks and dust from the surface of the asteroid using its robotic arm and will return to earth by 2023.
It is considered as the most dangerous known asteroids in our solar system.
If the asteroid hits the earth, it can cause a crater of about 15 times the size of earth.
According to the scientists, asteroids when crashed into our earth during ancient times, might have delivered compounds and water. Chances of the asteroid hitting earth are very low. Right now we don’t need to do anything about Bennu.
