Velociraptors view an asteroid strike
Death of the dinosaurs. Computer illustration of Velociraptor sp. dinosaurs watching an asteroid or comet core as it rushes towards the Earth. This impact, which occurred about 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous geological period, may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all species on Earth. The object, thought to be 10-20 km across, struck the Earth at Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. It threw huge amounts of debris into the upper atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing global climate changes. The remains of this debris are found as a layer in rocks called the K/T boundary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment in Earth's history. Velociraptors, the iconic dinosaurs known for their speed and agility, stand on a rocky outcrop as they gaze upon an impending catastrophe. In this computer illustration, we see them fixated on an asteroid or comet core hurtling towards our planet. The scene captures the fateful event that occurred approximately 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period. This cataclysmic impact is believed to have triggered the extinction of not only the dinosaurs but also 70% of all species inhabiting Earth at that time. The colossal object, estimated to be between 10-20 kilometers across, collided with our planet at Chicxulub on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The force unleashed by this collision ejected vast amounts of debris into the upper atmosphere. As sunlight was blocked by this layer of debris, global climate changes ensued. Today, evidence of this catastrophic event can still be found within rocks as a distinct layer called the K/T boundary. It serves as a haunting reminder of nature's power and its ability to shape life on Earth. Through artistry and scientific knowledge combined, Science Photo Library brings forth this mesmerizing image that sparks curiosity about our planet's past and reminds us how fragile life can be when faced with forces beyond our control.
