Sixty-six million years ago, dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid, which ended their reign of 180 million years. So what did the last day for dinosaurs on Earth look like?
On the last day, a bright light in the sky kept getting closer and closer. The asteroid was flying towards the Gulf of Mexico.
The asteroid caused an explosion more powerful than 10 billion atomic bombs. According to astronomy YouTuber Astrokobi, Earth was superhot and molten debris rained down on the planet.
Everything within 250 miles of the impact spot was instantly vapourised.
