The article "FINDING THE DINO-KILLING ASTEROID" explores the impact of a mountain-sized asteroid that collided with Earth around 66 million years ago, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Researchers from the University of Cologne confirmed that the asteroid originated from beyond the asteroid belt and was a carbonaceous chondrite type. The impact caused devastating consequences, including wildfires, dust clouds, darkness, and an 'impact winter' that led to the extinction of around 75% of species, including up to 1,000 nonavian dinosaur species.
