Sixty-six million years ago, a flaming asteroid collided with our planet and triggered one of the most devastating events in our planet’s history. Over millions of years, this extinction event devastated Earth’s biosphere and eradicated roughly 75% of species, including non-avian dinosaurs.

Giant reptiles like Tyrannosaurus Rex never again walked the Earth, but this rare event also began a new era dominated by modern life.

Earth has been around for roughly 4.54 billion years, gradually evolved into the hospitable ball of rock we know today.

Our planet was born in the early solar system, assembled from clumps of dust and hot gas. Over time, our young planet cooled and liquid water accumulated on the surface as primordial oceans. Near the bottom of those oceans emerged simple life forms that slowly spread over to every corner of the globe, laying the foundation for our modern biosphere.

It took Earth billions of years to develop into a comfortable, life-giving planet, but it might take only a few days or hours for our one and only home to vanish for good…

The dinosaurs dominated our planet for over 130 million years, and many dwarfed even the largest terrestrial animals in the world today. Giant predators like Tyrannosaurus Rex weighed over seven metric tons and had jaws strong enough to crush the thickest dinosaur hides. Even herbivorous dinosaurs were armed to the teeth. These animals may seem like the most terrifying creatures in evolutionary history, but the dinosaurs weren’t the only bone-chilling beasts to emerge on our prehistoric planet.

About 66 million years ago, a large asteroid crashed into our planet and eradicated three-fourths of all terrestrial and marine species. This mass extinction event, known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene, or K-Pg, Extinction, forever changed the trajectory of life. So let’s rewind to that fateful day when the last non-avian dinosaurs took their final steps on Earth.
