Neil deGrasse Tyson warns the earthlings, an asteroid may be heading towards our planet before election day, but it’s probably not going to kill us but maybe something else will
The famous astrophysicist posted a photo of the giant boulder rushing towards Earth, with the caption: « Asteroid 2018VP1, a space rock the size of a refrigerator, is rushing towards us over 40,000 km / h »
He goes on to say that it could have contact with Earth at a worrying time « It could cut Earth off on November 2, the day before the presidential election But it’s not big enough to cause any harm So if the World ends in 2020, it will not be the fault of the Universe «
Neil, who hosts Fox’s new show, « Cosmos: Possible Worlds, » hasn’t said what else could end the world as we know it, but we have some ideas
As for the asteroid NASA has confirmed it was on a path to possibly hit the US on November 2 It’s 65 feet in diameter and there’s only a 1% chance it will hit somewhere in the country, but still it’s 2020
Space agency says there are 3 possible impact points, but they weren’t specific Great
