Dinosaur-Killing Asteroid Formed Beyond Jupiters Orbit, Say Scientists
An intense debate surrounding the cosmic rock that killed the dinosaurs has stirred scientists for decades, but a new study has revealed some important -- and far-out -- data about the impactor's origin story.

City-Sized Asteroid That Killed Dinosaurs Shook Planet For "Weeks To Months"
66 million years ago, a 10-kilometre asteroid hit Earth, triggering the extinction of the dinosaurs. New evidence suggests that the Chicxulub impact also triggered an earthquake so massive it shook the planet for weeks to months after the collision.

Massive Meteor Shower "Hit Earth And Moon" 800 Million Years Ago
A giant meteor shower bombarded Earth and the Moon 800 million years ago with more than 30 times the force of the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs, new research showed Tuesday.

Were Dinosaurs Killed Off By Asteroid Or Volcanoes? Scientists Debate
Scientists say the story may not be quite that simple, and that massive volcanic eruptions over hundreds of thousands of years may have contributed to the dinosaurs' demise at the end of the Cretaceous period.

Asteroid Which Killed Dinosaurs Plunged Earth Into Darkness For 2 Years: Study
The massive asteroid strike that wiped out dinosaurs some 66 million years ago would have plunged the Earth into darkness for nearly two years, a study has found.

'Big Chill' After Asteroid Strike Likely Killed Dinosaurs
The well known asteroid impact resulted in long-lasting cooling on the Earth, which may have contributed to the sudden extinction of the land-living dinosaurs 66 million years ago, a new study suggests.

How Long Did It Take For Life To Rebound After The Death Of The Dinosaurs?
It doesn't take a very long time to irreversibly change the planet. In just a few dozen millennia - a geologic blink of an eye - three quarters of Earth's living things went extinct 66 million years ago. The cause was probably a massive asteroid impact, possibly accompanied by colossal volcanic eruptions. The consequences of what scientists call th...

Mammals Were Almost Wiped Out With The Dinosaurs
Over 90 per cent of mammal species were wiped out by the same asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, significantly more than previously thought, according to a new study.

Asteroid That Killed Dinosaurs Almost Wiped Out Mammal Species: Study
The same asteroid that killed the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago also wiped out over 90 per cent of mammal species, significantly more than previously thought, new research has found.

Post-Apocalyptic 'Beaver' Thrived After Dinosaurs Died
The world had been wrecked. An asteroid impact in Mexico compounded by colossal volcanism in India 66 million years ago had killed about three-quarters of Earth's species including the dinosaurs.
