NASA scientists will be able to analyze these rock samples further. and believes that it may help solve the mystery of the origin of life on Earth Asteroid Bennu It is considered one of the most dangerous asteroids to Earth. There is a chance that it will crash into Earth in about 100 years. Professor Dante Loretta, NASA’s principal investigator for this mission, said that once we have obtained a rock sample, weighing 250 grams, of asteroid Bennu. It will study the minerals that remain in these rock samples that predate our planet. Perhaps samples of these rocks may exist. Since before our solar system was born. Asteroid Bennu It is one of the most dangerous asteroids in the solar system and has a chance of 1 in 2,700 that it will hit the Earth on September 25, 2135, or the year 2678, or 112 years ahead of the planet. Asteroid Bennu is 500 meters wide, or the size of five football fields, and weighs 79,000 kilograms. Scientists estimate that if asteroid Bennu actually hits Earth, it will produce 1,200 megatons of energy, or more energy than an explosion.
