A huge asteroid named Bennu, which is as big as the Empire State Building in New York could hit the earth. According to a report in the New York Times, the chances of Bennu hitting Earth between 2021 and 2300 is one in 1,750. How close will asteroid Bennu come to Earth? Scientists say that the asteroid Bennu, by the year 2135, will come inside 125,000 miles of the Earth, around half the distance from the Earth to the moon. But the area of devastation is going to be much, much broader than that, as much as 100 times the size of the crater," New York Times quoted her as saying.
