Scientists believe that around 65 million years ago, an asteroid approximately 10 kilometers in diameter suddenly collided with Earth. The impact resulted in the disintegration of rocks weighing six times that of the asteroid into fragments and dust. This massive amount of dust formed a thick layer in the atmosphere, acting like a blanket that blocked sunlight and caused drastic climate changes, severely disrupting the ecological balance. Ultimately, this marked the end of the reign of dinosaurs, which had dominated the Earth for about 150 million years.
But did dinosaurs really go extinct? In recent years, several shocking discoveries have emerged that may leave scientists exhilarated, potentially leading to a rewrite of the dinosaur's 'family history.'
