Asteroid Bennu DANGER: Will Asteroid Bennu hit Earth? What are NASA’s odds of doom?

The first potential date on which Bennu could cross paths with our homeward is September 25, 2175.

On this potentially cataclysmic day, NASA estimates a 0.0041 percent chance of an Earth impact or odds of one in 24,000.

In other words, NASA has a 99.9959 percent certainty the space rock will fly past the Earth without contact.

Asteroid Bennu will then swing by the Earth again on September 24, 2176, but the odds of impact are even smaller – 0.00064 percent or one in 160,000.
