As if 2020 wasn’t already full of surprises, it now appears that scientists have identified an asteroid that is on course for Earth – and though the chances are incredibly slim, it could strike the planet one day before Election Day in the United States.
Luckily, the flying space object known as 2018VP1 only has a diameter of about 6.5 feet. However, it has been stated that it will pass near our planet on November 2, one day prior to the presidential election scheduled for Nov. 3, according to the Center for Near Objects Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
