NASA forgot to update? An asteroid may crash on Earth the day before the election
A NASA-identified asteroid is in a direct collision course on Earth - with the expectation, if it does happen, of the day before the US presidential election. We have a feeling that fans of conspiracy theories are going to celebrate

On Tuesday, November 3, the US will elect its president for the next four years, but there seems to be a small - but significant - chance that the election did not go as planned. An asteroid called 2018VP1 is expected to reach close to Earth and possibly crash 24 hours before we know if US President Donald Trump will defeat Democrat Joe Biden and win another term in office. We can already imagine the smile spread across the faces of the prophets of the end of the world who were just waiting for the possibility that they could use the timing of two such events to determine our end.
NASA warns that the asteroid has a 1 in 240 chance of crashing on Earth the day before the US election, on November 2, and although it is not a high chance, it is certainly rallying. The rock, moving at a speed of about 35,000 km / h, was observed 21 times over 13 days in 2018 when it disappeared from NASA's radar and is no longer visible. It is estimated that they are about 2 meters in diameter and weigh about 16 kilograms. VP1 has been on the radar since November 2018, when it was first observed by the California Observatory Palomer.

According to Forbes magazine, the asteroid will reach a distance of 7,500 kilometers to 420,000 kilometers from Earth, with three possible effects, but none of which are expected to be devastating based on observations. Due to the crash of the asteroid, about 0.00042 tons of TNT will be released. However, it is 7,500 times smaller than the meteor that is estimated to have wiped out the dinosaurs, so we are far from separated. What’s more, it is small enough that when it enters the atmosphere it will simply crumble into thousands of pieces and not cause any damage at all.
Michael Narlock, head of the astronomy department at the Cranbrook Institute of Science, said it is likely that an object of this magnitude will not create beyond what astronomers call a "bullet" or fireball. Such a case would be reminiscent of what caused a dramatic light show in Michigan in January 2018. Michael noted: "There are definitely planetary killers in our solar system. We've seen effects of celestial objects on the moon and how Schumaker-Levy's comet left a huge scar on Jupiter's surface. "We have to be complacent about threats from asteroids and comets. I do not know if such a case could happen on Earth with 2018VP1."

NASA has previously noted: “Space rocks smaller than 25 meters will probably burn upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere and cause little if any damage. If a rocky meteoroid larger than 25 meters - but less than a kilometer - hits the earth, it is likely to cause local damage in the crash area. We believe that anything larger than a mile can have a global impact. "
In the last 290 million years, large asteroids have crashed twice as much as observed over the previous 700 million years, according to a 2019 study published in the journal Science. Asteroids still hit the Earth on average every million or several million years, despite the increasing rate of crashes. NASA said that the list of the company's major potential crashes does not currently present any real threats that we should know about.
