A crater is a giant bowl-shaped hole created when something huge collides with the ground. That impact released energy like billions of nuclear bombs - causing wildfires, tsunamis, and throwing so much dust into the air that sunlight was blocked for months. Plants died, food chains collapsed, and eventually dinosaurs went extinct, along with 75% of l

The Chicxulub impact may not have been a lone event. Evidence suggests a broader bombardment episode, with multiple impacts occurring close together in geological time. At scales this ancient, precision is lost, but the pattern remains. Closely clustered strikes, some still unidentified, may have played a larger role in mass extinctions than a single catastrophic moment. Earth’s history records not just impacts, but episodes of cosmic violence. | The Randall Carlson

This single event reshaped the planet forever. 🌍☄️ The impact carved out a 180 km wide crater in the Yucatán region, melting entire layers of rock in seconds. Shocked quartz found worldwide reveals the unimaginable pressure of the collision, while dust and sulfur blasted into the atmosphere and blocked
