It turns out there is an asteroid, called Bennu, that has a very small chance of <a href="https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/asteroid-hunter-dante-lauretta/?utm_source=wnyc&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=scifri" target="_blank">colliding with our planet in the year 2182.</a></p><p>But beyond that, Bennu could hold information that would help unlock our solar system’s secrets, like how it began and where life originated.
