Earth is in danger of collision with an asteroid

An asteroid the size of a refrigerator could fall to Earth, according to American astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

“Asteroid 2018VP1, a space rock the size of a refrigerator, rushes towards us at a speed of over 25 thousand miles per hour (40.2 thousand kilometers per hour). It can touch the Earth on November 2, "the scientist wrote on Instagram.

Tyson noted that the asteroid is not big enough to cause harm.
