ONE FOR THE 'ROID

Could hit day before elex - but no biggie

That’s one way to rock the vote. An asteroid with a diameter the size of a refrigerator could strike the Earth the day before the November election, according to celebrity scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson — but it’s not large enough to do any serious damage.

The famed astrophysicist said the space rock, known as 2018VP1, is hurtling towards Earth at a speed of 25,000 miles per hour and may clip the planet on Nov. 2.

“It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov. 2, the day before the Presidential Election,” he wrote on Instagram.

But he added that the flying object is nothing to lose sleep over since “it’s not big enough to cause harm.”

“So if the World ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe,” he quipped.

NASA had previously identified the ce

lestial object rocketing toward Earth, but put its chances of actually striking at less than 1 percent.

“It currently has a 0.41 percent chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere, but if it did, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size,” the space agency said.

Asteroids fly past our planet all the time — sometimes even going unnoticed until after they’ve already zoomed by. In August, an SUV-sized asteroid now known as 2020 QG came within 1,830 miles of Earth, but scientists weren’t aware of its existence until hours after it had already passed. Still, some folks aren’t taking any chances. A Florida novelty company, the Saint Lawrence Agency, has started selling asteroid insurance on a policy that covers “any panic drinking due to a near miss.”

“Don’t get hit without it,” quipped owner Mike St. Lawrence.
