Walk through the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs with American Museum of Natural History’s new ‘Impact’ exhibit

“It sounds like science fiction or the stuff of Hollywood movies.”

The exhibit — aptly called “Impact” — chronicles what was, in the words of AMNH curator of paleontology Roger Benson, Earth’s “worst day of the last half-billion years.”
One spring day 66 million years ago, a rock from outer space slammed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The meteor was roughly the size of Mount Everest, and it struck with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs. Nearby forests instantly incinerated as atmospheric temperatures briefly soared to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Many animals, including large dinosaurs, were buried in ash — though some were able to escape by digging underground or diving underwater.
The tremendous impact also flung a mushroom cloud of ash and dust into the atmosphere, eventually shrouding the planet in a cold gloom. Tiny glass beads rained down as far away as Wyoming. At the same time, the impact triggered landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.
