This is the Chicxulub crater, formed when a massive asteroid slammed into Earth around 66 million years ago. Which eradicated roughly 75% of Earth's species, including non-avian dinosaurs.

The Five Mass Extinctions That Shaped Life on Earth Earth’s history is marked by periods of extraordinary biological flourishing interrupted by catastrophic die-offs. Paleontologists recognize five major mass extinctions—events in which a large percentage of the planet’s species vanished in a geologically short time. These “Big Five” reshaped ecosystems, opened ecological niches, and ultimately paved the way for the rise of new dominant groups, including the mammals that would one day include us. 1. Ordovician–Silurian Extinction (≈443 million years ago) The first of the great extinctions struck near the end of the Ordovician period. Roughly 85% of marine species disappeared. The primary drivers appear to have been rapid global cooling and the growth of extensive ice sheets over the supercontinent Gondwana. Falling sea levels drained shallow continental shelves—the richest habitats of the time—while changes in ocean chemistry further stressed marine life. Soft-bodied organisms and early reef-builders were especially hard-hit. 2. Late Devonian Extinction (≈375–360 million years ago) This drawn-out crisis unfolded in several pulses over millions of years and eliminated about 75% of species. Marine communities, particularly reef ecosystems built by corals and stromatoporoids, suffered heavily. Proposed causes include widespread oceanic anoxia (oxygen-poor waters), climate fluctuations, and possibly the evolution of land plants, which may have altered nutrient cycles and increased runoff into the oceans. The event cleared the way for the later diversification of early tetrapods and ammonoids. 3. Permian–Triassic Extinction (≈252 million years ago) Often called “The Great Dying,” this was the most severe extinction in Earth’s history. Up to 96% of marine species and roughly 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species vanished. The leading culprit is massive volcanism associated with the Siberian Traps, which released enormous volumes of greenhouse gases, triggered global warming, ocean acidification, and anoxia. Life on land and in the seas was pushed to the brink; recovery took millions of years, and the survivors set the stage for the age of dinosaurs and the first true mammals. 4. Triassic–Jurassic Extinction (≈201 million years ago) Approximately 80% of species disappeared at the end of the Triassic. Large amphibians and many early archosaurs were among the casualties, while the survivors—especially dinosaurs—rapidly diversified afterward. The main trigger is thought to have been intense volcanic activity linked to the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province as the supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart. Climate upheaval, rising CO₂ levels, and possible ocean acidification followed. 5. Cretaceous–Paleogene Extinction (≈66 million years ago) The most famous of the mass extinctions ended the reign of the non-avian dinosaurs and wiped out about 75% of all species. An asteroid roughly 10–15 km in diameter struck what is now the Yucatán Peninsula, creating the Chicxulub crater. The impact, combined with subsequent volcanism from the Deccan Traps, caused global darkness, wildfires, acid rain, and a prolonged “impact winter.” Marine reptiles, flying pterosaurs, and many other groups also vanished, while mammals, birds, and flowering plants inherited a transformed world. These five events underscore both the fragility and the resilience of life. Each extinction pruned the tree of life dramatically, yet the survivors rebounded, innovated, and eventually produced the astonishing biodiversity we see today—including our own species. Studying them remains essential not only for understanding Earth’s deep past but also for recognizing the scale of human-driven changes currently underway.

The lowest gravity on Earth is here… This is the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), Earth's biggest "gravity hole," discovered in 1948, where the sea level dips 106 meters due to weaker gravity. Spanning 3.1 million square kilometers, this anomaly southwest of India is thought to have formed 20 million years ago from the subduction of the Tethys Ocean and rising magma plumes..

1 year ago today, this program smashed into the figure skating community with roughly the same impact as the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs (except all of our lives were improved considerably by it). happy sort-of birthday to yumandot :)

The oldest DNA we’ve found is around 1.5 million years old. Most of the DNA we work with is hundreds of thousands of years old. Dinosaurs disappeared around 65M years ago. So yeah, cloning one is extremely unlikely at this point. But we’re not saying never. Science stays weird🤘

A new study has provided compelling evidence that Earth, shortly after its formation, was initially dry and lifeless, lacking the essential building blocks for life, such as water and organic compounds. Using precise measurements of the radioactive decay of manganese-53 into chromium-53 in meteorites and terrestrial rocks, the researchers determined that Earth's basic chemical composition was established within roughly three million years after the Solar System formed. This finding supports the Giant Impact Hypothesis: Earth’s Moon formed when a Mars-sized body, dubbed Theia, collided with our planet about 4.5 billion years ago. Crucially, Theia appears to have originated farther out in the Solar System and carried volatile elements, including water and carbon-rich compounds, that Earth lacked at the time. Therefore, it seems that Earth’s habitability, and ultimately the emergence of life, was not a straightforward outcome of gradual development but rather hinged on this dramatic, chance impact. 👉

Five years ago this week, Professor Adekunle Abraham Adepelumi of Obafemi Awolowo University died, less than 18 months after the discovery of a lifetime. On March 28th, 2020 Professor Adepelumi documented the 2nd significant meteor crater formed on earth since the birth of Jesus Christ. The one prior was formed 1,100 years ago, in Whitechurch, Canada. The meteor crater would be covered up by the CIA. We started deploying Field Hospitals furiously, for the 2nd stage, an Armageddon Event, due April 28, 2020 May 1st, after just 10 days in service, the Field Hospitals were decommissioned. They weren't for COVID. Neither were the lockdowns. They were for a meteor event, April 28, 2020. RIP Professor. Your place in history won't be forgotten.

Exactly 250 million years ago, the Sun began its current lap around the Milky Way. This Galactic Year is a massive cosmic clock that puts our entire history into perspective. As we traveled at 230 kilometers per second, Earth underwent radical changes. The journey started with the Great Dying, a cataclysmic extinction that cleared the slate for life. Dinosaurs rose, dominated the land, and vanished all within just two thirds of this single orbit. Modern humans only appeared in the final 300,000 years, a mere fraction of the Sun's trip. We are truly just a brief and beautiful moment in a grand celestial cycle. Credit: nasacosmicworld

There was a massive explosion that happened six years ago today in Beirut Lebanon. It was caused by the ignition of roughly 2,750 tons of improperly stored ammonium nitrate. Magnitude: Recognized as one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in modern history, creating a 43-meter-deep crater and sending shockwaves felt over 240 kilometers (150 miles) away in Cyprus.
