This year could end with a bang.
Scientists recently spotted an asteroid on a direct collision course to Earth — projected to hit a day before the presidential elections in November.
The flying space object, known as 2018VP1, is expected on Nov. 2, according to the Center for Near Objects Studies at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

DeleteBy the time is completes atmospheric entry, it'll be about the size of a basketball. Remember that meteor that blew up over Russia? Smaller. Unless it heads nearly straight down, we wont' even notice it.

About the size of my frig when it starts entering the atmosphere and buy the time it exits the mesosphere it will have burned.
