Where is the asteroid that collided with Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs?
The asteroid was 6.2 miles in diameter (as big as mount Everest) and it struck Earth 65 million years ago.
It impacted Earth at 12 miles per second (20 kilometers per second).
It created winds of 620 mph (1,000 kilometers per hour) near the impact's center.
Megatsunamis over 100 meters (330 ft) tall formed
The Dinosaurs lived on Earth for about 165 million years, but mass extinction only took about 32,000 years.
The crater it left behind is now known as the Chicxulub crater and the impact site sits buried beneath the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico.
