DID AN ASTEROID REALLY KILL THE DINOSAURS?

Did a space rock six miles wide slam into the Earth 66 million years ago and wipe out 75% of all living species at that time, including the dinosaurs? Explore the impacts and cosmic collisions across the Solar System in this dynamic new show. It includes footage from the first iridium layer found in Gubbio, Italy.
