The Day Earth Changed Forever: How a Single Asteroid Wiped Out the Dinosaurs
65 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth near what is now Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, triggering the most catastrophic extinction event in recent geological history. The Chicxulub impact released energy equivalent to billions of atomic bombs, instantly vaporizing rock and creating a crater over 100 miles wide.
The collision sent shockwaves around the planet, triggered mega-tsunamis, and ejected trillions of tons of debris into the atmosphere. The sky darkened for months, temperatures plummeted, and photosynthesis ground to a halt. Wildfires consumed continents while acid rain poisoned the oceans.
This wasn't just the end of the dinosaurs—approximately 75% of all species on Earth were wiped out in what scientists call the Cretaceous-Paleozoic (K-Pg) extinction event. But from this devastation, a new world emerged, paving the way for mammals to rise and eventually, for humans to evolve.
Discover the science behind this world-changing impact and how one asteroid reshaped life on Earth forever.
