Artwork of K / T asteroid approaching Earth
K/T asteroid impact. Artwork depicting an asteroid approaching Earth about 65 million years ago. The asteroid hit the Earth at the boundary between the cretaceous and tertiary era (K/T boundary), and is thought to have contributed to the demise of the dinosaurs. Land forms are shown as they were at the time; the Yucatan Peninsula (impact site) at centre, what are now Florida and Cuba to the right, Mexico to the left and South America at lower right. Scientists believe that the asteroid which hit Earth was up to 20 kilometres in diameter, and that the impact created six months of total darkness and decades of low global temperatures

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork print showcases the dramatic moment when a colossal asteroid, known as the K/T asteroid, hurtled towards Earth approximately 65 million years ago. The impact of this monumental event occurred at the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary eras, forever altering our planet's history. The image depicts an accurate representation of landforms during that era; with the Yucatan Peninsula positioned at the center - serving as ground zero for this cataclysmic collision. To its right lie what we now know as Florida and Cuba, while Mexico stands on its left side. South America completes this ancient landscape in the lower right corner. Scientists estimate that this monstrous asteroid measured up to a staggering 20 kilometers in diameter. Its catastrophic impact plunged our world into darkness for six long months and triggered decades of frigid global temperatures. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of how profoundly nature can shape life on Earth. This particular event is believed to have played a significant role in bringing about the extinction of dinosaurs - an entire era coming to an abrupt end due to forces beyond their control. Through Science Photo Library's masterful creation, we are transported back in time to witness one of Earth's most pivotal moments—a reminder that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is beauty and knowledge waiting to be discovered within our geological past.
