Beyond the immediate impact damage, an asteroid impact would have long-lasting effects on Earth's atmosphere. What would happen if Earth were struck by another catastrophic asteroid? While such an event would be devastating,

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar system, and we need to be prepared for what could come. A first-of-its-kind study simulated the planet-wide damage that would be caused by Bennu’s unlikely impact,

YR4 does smash down on the lunar surface, the explosion might be visible from Earth and would leave a new crater on the near side of the moon

Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.

Asteroid headed towards Earth might smash into the Moon, scientists say - Nasa expects chances of Earth collision to be revised down in future estimates
