海外网10月19日电据美国福克斯新闻网18日报道，美国知名天文学家尼尔·德·格拉斯·泰森（Neil deGrasse Tyson）透露称，一颗小行星有可能在
的前一天撞击地球。不过，泰森称它只有冰箱大小，不会造成实质性的危害。

报道称，这颗小行星名为“2018VP1”，直径约为6.5英尺（约1.98米），于2018年在加州帕洛玛天文台首次被发现。泰森称它将在美国大选的前一天，也就是11月2日撞击地球。他还补充道，“它不会造成实质性的危害。如果世界在2020年毁灭了，应该不是宇宙的错”。

美国国家航空航天局（NASA）也在今年8月22日发布报告称，这颗小行星将在美国大选的前一天接近地球。NASA基于12.968天时间里的21次观测认为，这颗小行星与地球有三次潜在的撞击可能性，但撞击概率很小，只有0.41%。（

Well-known American astronomers: asteroids may hit the earth one day before the US election

Overseas Network, October 19, according to Fox News reported on the 18th, the well-known American astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson revealed that an asteroid may be

Hit the earth the day before. However, Tyson said it is only the size of a refrigerator and will not cause substantial harm.

According to reports, the asteroid is named "2018VP1" and has a diameter of about 6.5 feet (about 1.98 meters). It was first discovered in 2018 at the Palomar Observatory in California. Tyson said it will hit the earth on November 2 the day before the US election. He also added, "It will not cause substantial harm. If the world is destroyed in 2020, it should not be the universe's fault."

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) also issued a report on August 22 this year that the asteroid will approach the earth the day before the US election. Based on 21 observations in 12.968 days, NASA believes that this asteroid has three potential collision possibilities with the Earth, but the collision probability is very small, only 0.41%. (

0.41% chance of impact. That's the same chance as Biden winning. :biggrin:

Delhi Confidential: Preparing Ground

Explained: What is Asteroid 2018VP1, headed for Earth this November?
Asteroid 2018VP1 has a diameter of all but 2 metres, around the size of a small automobile, and would likely burn up into an impressive fireball after entering the Earth’s atmosphere, before reaching the ground.

A day before the US will vote in its presidential elections, an asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth could come very close to the planet, according to the Center for Near Objects Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
While many on social media expressed alarm at the news of the astroid, NASA played down its risk and tweeted Sunday: “Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approx. 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth! It currently has a 0.41% chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere, but if it did, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.”

What is 2018VP1, the ‘Election Day Astroid’?
The asteroid, dubbed 2018VP, was first discovered at the Palomar Observatory in California’s San Diego County two years ago. A 13-day observational arc followed, after which the asteroid was not detected again.
When it was discovered, the asteroid — which has a two year orbital period — was around 2,80,000 miles away from the Earth, according to Science Alert. This year, however, the asteroid could be as close as 4,700 miles according to NASA’s close approach database.

Asteroid 2018VP1: Should we be worried?
NASA has said there is a 0.41 per cent, or 1 in 240 chance that 2018VP1 would impact the Earth. Even if the asteroid does enter our planet’s atmosphere, it is unlikely to cause any harm on November 2.

According to The Planetary Society, there are estimated to be around 1 billion asteroids having a diameter greater than 1 metre. Objects that can cause significant damage upon impact are larger than 30 metres. The Chicxulub impactor, the celestial object that caused the sudden extinction of most dinosaur species 66 million years ago, had a diameter of over 10 kilometres.
2018VP1 has a diameter of all but 2 metres, around the size of a small automobile, and would likely burn up into an impressive fireball after entering the Earth’s atmosphere before reaching the ground. According to NASA, such an event happens about once every year.
As per NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations Programme, asteroids that are 140 metres or larger (bigger than a small football stadium) are of “the greatest concern” due to the level of devastation their impact is capable of causing. However, it has been pointed out that no asteroid larger than 140 metres has a “significant” chance of hitting the Earth for the next 100 years.

Deflecting asteroids
Over the years, scientists have suggested different ways to ward off threats of more serious impact events, such as blowing up the asteroid before it reaches Earth, or deflecting it off its Earth-bound course by hitting it with a spacecraft.
The most drastic measure undertaken so far is the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA), which includes NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Hera. The mission’s target is Didymos, a binary near-Earth asteroid, one of whose bodies is of the size that could pose the most likely significant threat to Earth.
In 2018, NASA announced it had started the construction of DART, which is scheduled to launch in 2021 with an aim to slam into the smaller asteroid of the Didymos system at around 6 km per second in 2022. Hera, which is scheduled to launch in 2024, will arrive at the Didymos system in 2027 to measure the impact crater produced by the DART collision and study the change in the asteroid’s orbital trajectory.
