Five Asteroids to Fear: NASA warns of space rocks with one packing firepower of nearly 5 mn Hiroshima bombs!

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Asteroids frequently pass near Earth, and while most are too small to pose any threat, some can make direct hits. Fortunately, such events often result in these asteroids burning up in the atmosphere. The last significant asteroid impact occurred 66 million years ago, leading to the extinction of most dinosaurs. Though the chances of another similar event are low, NASA and other space agencies are actively monitoring potential threats. They are also developing strategies for deflection in case a dangerous asteroid is on a collision course.

Bennu: The Most Concerning Asteroid

Bennu has emerged as the asteroid with the highest risk, currently assessed at a 1 in 2,700 chance of impacting Earth on September 24, 2182. Weighing 74 million tonnes and measuring 0.30 miles wide, Bennu is not expected to destroy the world entirely.
However, if it were to hit a densely populated area, it could cause millions of casualties, releasing energy equivalent to dropping 1.4 billion tonnes of explosives, according to Live Science. NASA collected samples from Bennu in September 2023, which are now being analyzed.

Asteroid 29075 (1950 DA)

Another object of concern is 29075 (1950 DA), which is regarded as the second riskiest asteroid. With a width of 0.81 miles and a mass of 78 million tonnes, it carries the potential to be one of the deadliest. The chances of it hitting Earth are estimated at 1 in 34,500, with a projected impact date of March 16, 2880. The energy release from a collision would be equivalent to 75 billion tonnes of TNT,
