Asteroids have significantly impacted Earth's history through numerous collisions, shaping the planet's geography and biological trajectory. Key event ...

A massive release of sulfur has been largely blamed for the dramatic cooling that followed Chicxulub’s crash landing, but did ...

For decades, the scientific community has largely agreed that amassive asteroid impact 66 million years ago led to the mass ...

Photograph by Robert Clark Roughly 30 miles to the east of this mangrove swamp sits Chicxulub Puerto, a calm seaside village at the center of an immense impact crater that stretches into the Gulf ...

When this was dated, it coincided precisely with when the dinosaurs disappeared from the fossil record. A decade later, scientists uncovered the massive Chicxulub Crater at the tip of Mexico ...

Let’s explore new findings about this double-impact theory and its potential implications! Previously, scientists attributed the extinction of the dinosaurs to a massive asteroid hitting Earth 66 ...

Approximately 66 million years ago, the Chicxulub asteroid, estimated to be 10–15 kilometers in diameter, struck the Yucatán ...

Previous studies have posited that the mass extinction that wiped the dinosaurs off the face of the Earth was caused by the release of large volumes of sulfur from rocks within the Chicxulub impact ...

This impact triggered a chain reaction of destructive events, including a rapid climate change that eventually led to the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs and, in total, about 75% of species ...
