## Resource

A massive asteroid named Bennu, about 1,600 feet wide—taller than the Empire State Building—is on a potential collision course with Earth, though the odds are slim at 1 in 1,750. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission, which has been studying Bennu since 2018 and even collected a surface sample for return next year, has provided critical data on its composition and orbit. The earliest possible impact isn’t until September 23, 2900, but scientists are taking it seriously, especially as Bennu’s spin rate increases due to the Yarkovsky effect, subtly shifting its path. This ongoing monitoring highlights humanity’s growing ability to track space threats—and prepare for the cosmic challenges ahead.
