the asteroid was six miles wide weighing
hundreds of billions of times still
compared to earth it was tiny how could
it wreak such havoc
it will hit at nearly 50,000 miles per
hour
the energy released would be equal to
about a hundred million nuclear bombs
a huge mass of superheated debris would
have been blasted into space orbiting
the Earth before raining back down
the Alvarez's thought the dust could
have blocked out the Sun for years
devastating life this was the hypothesis
for how the age of dinosaurs ended
