A six-mile-long asteroid, which struck Earth 66 million years ago, wiped out the dinosaurs and more than half of all life on Earth. The impact left a 124-mile-wide crater underneath the Gulf of Mexico ...
The ocean floor is famously less explored than the surface of Mars. And when our team of scientists recently mapped the seabed, and ancient sediments beneath, we discovered what looks like an asteroid ...
The newly discovered Nadir crater off the coast of Africa dates to the same time as the famous Chicxulub impact, which killed off most life on Earth. Reading time 3 minutes Researchers say they’ve ...

A massive crater hidden beneath the Atlantic seafloor has been confirmed as the result of an asteroid strike from 66 million years ago. The new 3D seismic data reveals astonishing details about the ...
The 5.3-mile-wide crater is now confirmed to be 66 million years old, suggesting that the impact of at least two giant space rocks preceded the mass extinction of dinosaurs. Reading time 3 minutes ...
A colossal asteroid impact crater, buried deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, has finally been confirmed using high-resolution 3D seismic imaging. The 9-kilometer-wide (5.6-mile) structure—known as the ...
New images of an asteroid impact crater buried deep below the floor of the Atlantic Ocean have been published by researchers at Heriot-Watt University. The images confirm the 9km Nadir Crater, located ...
