According to NASA, asteroid Bennu will make a close approach with Earth in the year 2135. The trajectory of the object is under further study by scientists.

The remote rogue asteroid Bennu has about a one -in-1,750-chance of hitting Earth in the next 180 years, according to a new NASA study using data compiled from the unmanned OSIRIS-REx space mission to the object published on Wednesday.Using NASAs Deep Space Network and state-of-the-art computer mo ..

While NASAs OSIRIS-REx mission spent more than two years orbiting Bennu, it was able to gather unprecedented information as well as a sample that is currently heading back to Earth. The sample will arrive in September 2023.

The asteroid known as Bennu, with a diameter rivaling the Empire State Building, won't make another close pass by Earth until 2135.
