INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that a black hole is on a collision course with Earth?
Unclear. The retrieved items only partially address the claim: one reference notes hypothetical micro black holes near Earth would evaporate and pose no threat, and a news item notes the nearest known black hole is still distant. None directly settles whether a black hole is on a collision course with Earth.
