Jigsaw Puzzle : Artists impression of asteroid super impact
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Artists impression of asteroid super impact
Artists impression of a super-impact. A very large asteroid, about 800km in diameter, strikes the Earth. The energy of the impact, equivalent to about 5 trillion nuclear bombs, would be enough to vaporise the oceans and melt the Earths crust. Studies of lunar impact patterns have indicated subsequent smaller impacts on Earth. These would have killed any life-forms near the surface, where life is thought to have originated, but not any bacteria which had migrated to the bottom of the oceans. It is suggested, therefore, that deep-sea bacteria are the true ancestors of life on Earth. An impact of the size seen here would have destroyed all life - sterilising Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts an artist's impression of a cataclysmic event that could have reshaped the history of life on Earth. In this striking image, we witness the aftermath of a super-impact caused by an enormous asteroid, measuring about 800km in diameter. The sheer magnitude of this collision is mind-boggling; its energy equivalent to an astonishing five trillion nuclear bombs. The consequences of such a colossal impact would have been devastating. The oceans would vaporize instantaneously, and the Earth's crust would melt under the intense heat generated by this catastrophic event. Extensive studies conducted on lunar impact patterns suggest that subsequent smaller impacts occurred on our planet as well. These secondary impacts would have wiped out any life-forms residing near the surface, where it is believed life originated. However, intriguingly enough, deep-sea bacteria might hold the key to understanding our true ancestors. It is postulated that these resilient microorganisms managed to survive at the bottom of oceanic depths during such apocalyptic events. Consequently, they may be considered as potential progenitors for all life forms on Earth today. This awe-inspiring artwork serves as a reminder of how fragile our existence can be in the face of cosmic forces beyond our control. It prompts us to contemplate both our origins and future survival amidst an ever-changing universe filled with wonders and dangers alike.
