Empire earth 3 videos5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Although asteroids orbit the Sun like planets, they are much smaller than planets.Īccording to New York Times, at a news conference on Wednesday (August 11), NASA scientists said there was a 1-in-1,750 chance that Bennu, which is a bit wider than the Empire State Building is tall, could collide with Earth between now and 2300. Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. Discovered first in 1999, asteroid Bennu has been classified as a potentially hazardous object. So while whoever's reading this article now will be all dead by that time - as will their kids - the slight chance that it might hit earth is causing some concerns among scientists. However, located over 100 million miles from Earth, the asteroid, named Bennu, will hit the earth, if at all, in the next century or two. An asteroid the size of the Empire State Building might hit the earth.
