Looks like the final season of 2020 is going to go out with a bang, quite literally.Â
An asteroid – known as 2018 VP1 – is headed straight to Earth, just a day before the 2020 Presidential Election in the United States.Â
The asteroid could hit on November 2, 2020, according to the Center for Near Earth Objects Studies (CNEOS) at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Asteroid 2018 VP1 could hit Earth on November 2, 2020
It is approximately 6.5ft (.002km) in diameter and was first observed in November 2018. It was first spotted at the Palomar Observatory in California.
There are three potential impacts, but the impact is not expected to be disastrous based off 21 observations over 13 days. Â
It has a .41 per cent chance of hitting, data reports.Â
If it were to hit the atmosphere, the asteroid is so small that it would only look really bright before breaking up into tiny pieces, WHIO reports.Â
