Bennu Asteroid Threat Grows | Trinidad and Tobago News

A massive 500-meter asteroid named Bennu is now confirmed on a collision course with Earth, with updated odds of impact rising to one in 1,750 — a sobering reminder that even small probabilities demand global vigilance. Scientists have refined Bennu’s trajectory through years of tracking and new data on its rotation and gravitational dance with other bodies, revealing subtle shifts that could mean big consequences if it strikes. While history shows Earth has survived asteroid strikes before, modern tech and planetary defense strategies are being sharpened to give humanity a fighting chance — all while keeping tabs on Bennu until the year 2300.
