What would happen if the OSIRIS-REx asteroid Bennu smashed into Earth in 2182?

TL;DR


Summary:
- The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is currently orbiting the asteroid Bennu, which has a small chance of colliding with Earth in the year 2182.
- If Bennu were to hit Earth, it would create a massive impact crater and release an enormous amount of energy, potentially causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
- Scientists are closely monitoring Bennu's orbit and trajectory to better understand the potential risks and plan appropriate mitigation strategies if necessary.
