Is it possible to project where the meteor of 65 million years ago came from and then could we see it in the sky if it was billions of years old then could we stop it?

It does sound like a really cool thing to do, but I would say it's very unlikely, if not completely impossible.
The universe is changing everyday, and it still is, so even if we could, it may not be accurate.
Nice idea though. :)

Alas, no. The Earth rotates at 15 degrees per hour, and while we know that it happened ABOUT 65 billion years ago, there's no way to determine the exact time and date. Also, even if we knew precisely when, there isn't any way to tell exactly which direction the rock was going when it hit the Earth.
