Extraterrestrial impact may have caused abrupt climate change 12,800 years ago, research suggests
Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina. About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway through this […]

Astronomers conduct “planetary defense” exercise to prepare for extinction-level events
Impacts from near-Earth objects (NEO) have caused some of the biggest mass extinction events ever experienced by Earth. Now, an international team has come together for an exercise to track one such NEO and assess the threat it posed while demonstrating how experts from around the world can come together in response to such a threat. […]

NASA chief: Asteroid strikes are not like the movies, world powers should prepare for impact
The chief of NASA has warned that the threat of an asteroid impact is all too real. During a conference on the matter of planetary defense, he called for funding and working plans to stop killer asteroids from hitting the U.S. and the rest of Earth. Jim Bridenstine was one of the speakers at the […]

Cosmic crash 12,800 years ago caused climatic changes, proving “climate change” can happen at any moment, far beyond our control
Nearly 13,000 years ago, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere got clobbered by a fragmenting comet. New evidence found by University of California Santa Barbara researchers suggested that the extreme impact event also affected the weather and ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) Impact Hypothesis proposed that the comet strike triggered climate changes and […]

Not as easy as in the movies: Scientists say blowing up asteroids that threaten life on Earth will be extremely difficult
Most Hollywood films that revolve around asteroid impacts end with the heroes successfully blowing up the incoming space rock in the nick of time. But researchers warn that a potential killer asteroid hurtling toward Earth is going to be much harder to stop in real life. Like many others before them, the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) looked […]

Asteroid that killed the dinosaurs also cooled Earth’s climate; more proof temperatures have ebbed and flowed over eons
The impact of the famous Chicxulub asteroid was strong enough to wipe out the gigantic dinosaurs that once roamed the earth, so it is reasonable to believe that such an impact would also have a significant effect on the planet’s atmosphere that could have lasted for many years. Now, however, scientists have discovered that it […]

Space models suggest that a cosmic impact created Mars’ moons
American scientists have uncovered evidence supporting the theory that an asteroid impact formed the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos. According to an article on Space.com, their computer models showed that an event involving an object of the same size as the biggest members of the asteroid belt would have launched sufficient debris to form the […]

Just one asteroid strike thrust the planet into YEARS of darkness, killing almost everything
Around 65.5 million years ago, an asteroid about six to nine mi — or 10 to 15 km — in diameter collided with the Earth. Known as the Chicxulub impactor, the meteor created an enormous impact crater underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. It’s believed that the Chicxulub impactor was what caused the mass extinction […]

Astrophysicist warns humanity will eventually be wiped out by an asteroid strike… “just a matter of time”
Mankind’s days could already be numbered. According to a leading astrophysicist, it’s just a matter of time before an asteroid strikes the Earth and – gasp – wipe out the human race. It sounds like something that only happens in movies, but it’s a reality that we could soon face, especially since there are thousands […]

Asteroid strike near New York City would kill 2.5 million people, reveals physics simulation based on NASA data
Last February, an immense asteroid, dubbed 2013K flew by Earth’s orbit. Researchers at InsuranceQuotes said the meteor — which measured 328 feet wide — could kill more than 2.5 million people if it crashed into a city like New York. This conclusion was made after researchers sifted through NASA’s database of more than 36,000 near-Earth encounters. Researchers […]
