Populärvetenskaplig sammanftaaning: För 65 miljoner år sedan slog en extraterrestrisk kropp ner på Yucatán-halvön i södra Mexico. Nedslaget orsakade ett av de största massutdöendena i historien, då bland annat dinosaurierna dog ut. Nedslaget kan ha varit en följd av ett tillfälligt ökat asteroidflöde i inre solsystemet som orsakats av att en jätteasteroid i asteroidbältet mellan Mars och Jupiter bAn impact crater is the result of a collision between a large and a smaller body. On Earth most of the cratering record has been erased because of tectonic processes and weathering. The Moon, however, displays a nearly complete record of impact events over the last 2 Gyr, and evidence of impact cratering events nearly 4 billion years old. The same family of impactors is responsible for the formati
