This is the event that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs (and many other species). The explosion was the equivalent of about 200 million megatons of dynamite, about the equivalent of all 20 pieces of Shoemaker-Levy. The blast turned the air around it into plasma — a material so hot electrons are ripped from the atomic nucleus and molecules cannot exist. This is the stuff the Sun is made of. Enormous quantities of red-hot materials were thrown into space, most of which rained down worldwide burning literally the entire planet to a crisp. Anything not underground or underwater was killed. This scenario has been repeated over and over, perhaps once every 100 million years or so. Each collision killed up to 95% of all species on Earth. As many as two-thirds of all species that ever existed may have been terminated by asteroids hitting the Earth.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-1b21edd e-con-full elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="1b21edd" data-element_type="container" data-settings="{"animation":"none"}"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-e6bc37d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="e6bc37d" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ebfede2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="ebfede2" data-element_type="widget" data-settings="{"ekit_we_effect_on":"none"}" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Detect & Divert</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c67cbe7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="c67cbe7" data-element_type="widget" data-settings="{"_animation":"none","_animation_delay":750,"ekit_we_effect_on":"none"}" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>We know about the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs because we found the crater.
