Artwork showing Chicxulub impact crater, Yucatan
Chicxulub crater. Artwork of the Chicxulub impact crater on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, soon after its creation. This impact may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all Earths species 65 million years ago. The crater is about 180 kilometres (km) wide and was caused by an asteroid or comet core which was 10-20 km across. The impact threw trillions of tonnes of dust into the atmosphere which may have blocked the Suns light and caused global climate changes. The remains of this debris are found worldwide as a layer in rocks known as the " K/T boundary". Other impacts like this in Earths future are a statistical certainty

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the momentous event that shaped Earth's history - the creation of the Chicxulub impact crater on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Stretching across a staggering 180 kilometers, this colossal crater was formed approximately 65 million years ago by an asteroid or comet core measuring between 10 to 20 kilometers in diameter. The catastrophic impact unleashed unimaginable devastation, potentially leading to the extinction of dinosaurs and nearly three-quarters of all species on our planet. The aftermath of this cataclysmic collision resulted in trillions of tonnes of dust being hurled into the atmosphere, possibly obstructing sunlight and triggering global climate changes. Evidence of this cosmic encounter can be found worldwide as a distinct layer known as the "K/T boundary" within rocks. This debris serves as a haunting reminder of nature's immense power and its ability to shape life on Earth. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one of Earth's most significant events unfold before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder that our planet is vulnerable to future impacts like these – statistical certainties that may forever alter life as we know it. Let us marvel at both the beauty and fragility captured within this image, reminding us to cherish and protect our precious home amidst an ever-changing universe.
