Bennu, Earth and asteroid

What would happen if the OSIRIS-REx asteroid Bennu smashed into Earth in 2182?
Beyond the immediate impact damage, an asteroid impact would have long-lasting effects on Earth's atmosphere. What would happen if Earth were struck by another catastrophic asteroid? While such an event would be devastating,
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu could hit Earth in 157 years and set off a global ‘impact winter,’ study says
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global winter that affects our planet for years.
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?
NASA to study "city-killer" asteroid as odds of hitting Earth go up
Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.
Scientists to use NASA's James Webb telescope to track asteroid as odds of hitting Earth rise
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will study asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 2 per cent risk of striking Earth in 2032, up from 1 per cent since its discovery.
