NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.
Earth at risk? NASA scientists predict major consequences if asteroid Bennu collides 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, with scientists estimating a one-in-2,700 chance of a collision with Earth in September 2182.
Chance of Major Asteroid Hitting Earth Is Small, But Going Up
The chance of a major asteroid striking Earth in 2032 heightened to 2.3 percent, but scientists say the likelihood of impact remains very low. Newsweek reached out to NASA for comment via email. NASA is tracking the asteroid,
There's a 2% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's around a 98 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.
