A study reveals the chemical makeup of the Chicxulub asteroid that collided with Earth and resulted in the extinction of nearly all dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

For instance, while the new study rules out that the dinosaur-killing space rock was a comet, which a 2021 study had suggested, scientists don't yet have pristine data on the diversity and ...

The study confirmed previous findings that identified the asteroid as a carbonaceous-type, or C-type, asteroid, but refuted a 2021 hypothesis that the dinosaur killer was likely a comet.

The dinosaur-killing asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago also triggered a jumbo-size tsunami with mile-high waves in the Gulf of Mexico whose waters traveled halfway around the ...

In a study published August 15 in the journal American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), an international research team reveals the famous Chicxulub impactor that separated the ...

The craters on the moon are more pristine than any on Earth, so scientists are using lunar craters to learn about the Chicxulub crater—the terrestrial remnant of an asteroid impact that killed ...

Dinosaur-killing asteroid blocked out sun and caused worse global cooling than earlier thought, study says. Asteroid impact may have injected sulphur-bearing gases into the atmosphere ...
