Explaining Dinosaurs on Instagram: "About 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid slammed into Earth near the northern coast of today’s Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Traveling at roughly 12.4 miles per second (around 20 kilometers per second), the impact unleashed energy equal to billions of nuclear bombs. The collision carved out the Chicxulub crater, roughly 88 miles wide (140 kilometers) and more than 12 miles deep (20 kilometers). In the aftermath, Earth was thrown into chaos—wildfires swept

Simply Disturbing | Documented Reality on Instagram: "This animation reveals the true scale of the asteroid believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs and it is staggering. The Chicxulub asteroid, which struck Earth about 66 million years ago, is estimated to have been 6 to 9 miles wide and traveling roughly 40,000 miles per hour. When it hit the Yucatán Peninsula, the impact released more energy than billions of nuclear bombs. The blast triggered massive earthquakes, global firestorms, and toweri

Extinct Era on Instagram: "About 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid about 10 kilometers (6 miles) wide struck Earth near what is now Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The impact released energy equal to hundreds of millions to billions of nuclear bombs, triggering shock waves, immense tsunamis, and global wildfires. It left a crater about 180 kilometers (110 miles) wide and 30 kilometers (19 miles) deep. In the aftermath, oceans surged, sunlight was blocked by dust and soot, and plant life colla

Around 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth near what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This impact created the Chicxulub Crater — a gigantic, bowl-shaped scar more than 150 kilometers wide. When the asteroid hit, it released energy equal to billions of nuclear bombs. The explosion instantly vaporized rock, ignited global wildfires, and sent shockwaves around the world. Huge tsunamis swept across ancient oceans, and dust and debris were blasted high into the atmosphere, bl

astrospace on Instagram: "💥 The Day Earth Changed Forever 66 million years ago, a colossal asteroid—around 10 kilometers wide—slammed into what is now the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The impact unleashed energy equivalent to 10 billion atomic bombs, triggering global wildfires, tsunamis, and a “nuclear winter” effect. 🌍 This cataclysmic event led to the extinction of nearly 75% of all life on Earth, including the mighty dinosaurs 🦖… but it also opened the door for mammals—and eventually, hum
