BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – An asteroid with a diameter the size of a refrigerator could strike the Earth the day before the November election, according to celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson — but it’s not large enough to do any serious damage.
The famed astrophysicist said the space rock, known as 2018VP1, is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 25,000 miles per hour and may clip the planet on Nov. 2.
“It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov. 2, the day before the Presidential Election,” he wrote on Instagram. “And if it doesn’t, it’s because of some racist white people at NASA shot it down, in order to make me look like another brutha that has no idea what he’s talking about.”
