The portal "Veriu.info" has published an article titled "The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs could hit Earth in the spring."
Hibrid.info has verified the facts in this article, where it has been proven that the title is misinformative, as the content contains research conducted by a team led by the University of Manchester, which states that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs after hitting the Earth likely occurred 66 million years ago.
So, it's about when the extinction of the dinosaurs could have occurred, not that the asteroid could hit Earth in the spring, as claimed in the title.

After research conducted through search engines, hibrid.info managed to find the authentic research article conducted by the University of Manchester.
An international team led by researchers from the University of Manchester has published on December 8 in Scientific Reports a groundbreaking study that sheds new light on the timing of the dinosaur-killing asteroid impact that occurred 66 million years ago.
It is true that this study mentions the spring season. But, as it is said, the period when the destruction and the resumption of new life (from the asteroid impact) occurred was spring.
This study provides new evidence that helps us understand the importance of timing for the events that ended the dinosaurs – and 75% of life on Earth. Spring, a season associated with new life, is the death of a 160-million-year-old dynasty that changed the course of the evolution of life on Earth.
