"IMO, if an asteroid is to take out the Earth, it has yet to be discovered and will almost literally come from nowhere."

Didn't they (astronomers) discover one just last summer only days before it passed in-between the Earth and the Moon?

I don't think is was an extinction-sized asteroid, but more of a city-killer, like the Russian asteroid from the turn of last century.

I believe they did, hence my statement. Whatever is gonna take out this Earth (Asteroid-wise) ain’t yet been discovered.

It would be a shame if such a city-killer fell on Mecca.
