Neil deGrasse Tyson warns asteroid might hit Earth day earlier than election - KYR News

That’s one option to rock the vote.

An asteroid with a diameter the dimensions of a fridge might strike the Earth the day earlier than the November election, in response to movie star scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson — but it surely’s not massive sufficient to do any severe injury.

The famed astrophysicist stated the area rock, often called 2018VP1, is hurtling in direction of Earth at a velocity of 25,000 miles per hour and will clip the planet on Nov. 2.

“It might buzz-cut Earth on Nov. 2, the day earlier than the Presidential Election,” he wrote on Instagram.

However he added that the flying object is nothing to lose sleep over since “it’s not large enough to trigger hurt.”

“So if the World ends in 2020, it received’t be the fault of the Universe,” he stated.

NASA had beforehand recognized the asteroid rocketing towards Earth, however put its possibilities of really placing at lower than 1 p.c.

“It at present has a zero.41% likelihood of getting into our planet’s environment, but when it did, it will disintegrate as a consequence of its extraordinarily small dimension,” the space agency said.
