Asteroid Bennu, as big as the Empire State Building in New York, could hit Earth

​By a Staff Reporter:  A huge asteroid named Bennu, which is as big as the Empire State Building in New York could hit the earth. Earlier this week, scientists of the US Space Agency NASA confirmed the same. However, it is important to note that there is no need to worry as this event will likely happen in the 2100s. According to a report in the New York Times, the chances of Bennu hitting Earth between 2021 and 2300 is one in 1,750. Speaking about the same, scientist Davide Farnocchiaa, author of the 'hazard assessment' study for asteroid (101955) Bennu, along with 17 other scientists, said that the chances of impact are still pretty low.
