An asteroid is going to give Earth a “buzz cut” Monday, but astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says it’s nothing to worry about. The six-point-five-foot rock, which is about the size of a refrigerator, has less than a half a percent chance of entering the plant’s atmosphere. NASA has been tracking the asteroid since 2018 and said it would be closest to the Earth on November 2nd. Tyson said that it’s not big enough to cause any harm, and then joked with USA Today that “if the world ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the universe.”
