Neil deGrasse Tyson Warns Asteroid Could Hit U.S. Day Before November Election

Fact checked

An asteroid hurtling through space at more than 25,000 miles per hour is on a trajectory to hit the United States the day before the presidential election, but it’s probably not going to end life on earth, says Neil deGrasse Tyson.

The famous astrophysicist posted a photo of the giant space rock hurtling towards planet Earth, with the caption, “asteroid 2018VP1, a refrigerator-sized space-rock, is hurtling towards us at more than 25,000 mi/hr.

Tyson goes on to say the asteroid could “buzz-cut” the planet at an ominous time.

“It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov. 2, the day before the Presidential Election. But it’s not big enough to cause harm. So if the World ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe.”

Neil, who hosts new Fox show, “Cosmos: Possible Worlds,” didn’t say what else could end life on earth as we know it, but we have ideas.

As for the asteroid, NASA has confirmed it’s on a trajectory to possibly hit the U.S. on Nov. 2. It’s 6.5 feet in diameter and there’s only a 1% chance it will hit somewhere in the country… but still, it’s 2020.

The space agency said there are three possible locations of impact, but they didn’t provide details.  Great.

  1. Fake news. This guy is a complete swindler just part of this team of morons smearing the people al the time.

  2. If we are lucky, the asteroid will land on Neil Degrasse Tyson’s head and end his obscene amount of irrational narcissism.

    If we are double lucky, Tyson will be shaking Joe Bidet’s hand when it hits.

  3. I triple dog dare that asteroid to hit us. Nanny Nanny boo boo, asteroid 2018VP1 you ain’t got the guts!

  4. Is it the same one that they landed a satellite on and took a sample of? Was it also filmed in a basement? Was Biden there?

  5. Salesman for public-funded for profit Space diddling (while our people and planet suffer) turns to fear-mongering.
