No, it isn’t, and no, they didn’t.
You know, I might not make it to then.
Just a guess.
5.56mm
The megafauna extinction at that time has been attributed to a one-time debris stream from a supernova. In a way though, it’s more comforting to attribute these things to something predictable and cyclical.
Discovery of a new branch of the Taurid meteoroid stream as a real source of potentially hazardous bodies

The Lottery is a tax on the statistically challenged.
HOWEVER (However) always buy one to allow God scope for action on your behalf! :)
That’s said to be the gist of this paper:

I haven’t been able to make sense of it yet (not an astronomer/astrophysicist), but the theory is that around 2030 the Earth’s orbit will pass through a denser section of the debris field that produces the Taurid meteor showers, leading to some significant meteor impacts.
Drat!
You beat me to it.
This may be the only way to end the vaxx mandates!
Jesus actually ends up sorting humanity into the sheep and the goats. A word to the wise: don’t be one of the goats.
The world will burn up then. Like a soiled minivan, it will need burning.
Heh... of course, this turned out to be a repost of a 2017 topic, so...

Well humans will already be long gone. We have what 8 years left?
Then there is the 155k wide C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) comet that could also get kicked as it approaches the gas giants and come this way eventually. Just like the 10K strike was not alone so perhaps these will not be alone either in striking the Earth. And who knows what smaller, undetectable rocks are traveling with them?

It should put on quite a show, even if it misses us (which is somewhat likely). Impact would be a much shorter set, but more spectacular. ;^)
I’m not sweating it too much. Not sure anyone alive needs to. ;^)
LOL
Alterations of direction by any of the planets are fairly well predictable for several cycles. That gives us lots of time.
I’d be more “worried” (more like a Spock-o raised eyebrow) about a tiny deflection way, way out. Say, a house sized rock passing by the comet in the Kuiper Belt. Then we have only the time between actual detection of the change (maybe at Neptune’s orbit?) and a potential Earth impact, to act.
A mere 105 years to go.
