How the dinosaurs disappeared from Earth? NASA says meteorites are NOT to blame
Experts from NASA removed the theory that dinosaurs disappeared from Earth as meteorites because giant, which were scattered into space by asteroid explosion Baptistina. Until now, the first "suspect" in the disappearance of dinosaurs was Baptistina asteroid, which could be said that collided with another celestial body, from about 160 million years. This astronomical phenomenon would have occurred somewhere between Mars and Jupiter, and pieces of meteorites that have resulted from the collision would have reached Earth, where there were dinosaurs. They say asterorizi pieces were extremely large, almost as a mountain, and one of these pieces hit the Earth, from about 65 million years .. Since 2007, this theory was accepted by many researchers, but now, a NASA specialist dismantled. WISE team members have announced that "the file was reopened dinosaur extinction." WISE is a NASA program that uses infrared rays to measure the length of objects in space. After some investigation, members of this team have raised new questions about that period would have produced "Baptisina event." Scientists now say that the asteroid would collide with each other behind with "only" 80 million years, half of the period ever suspected. For this reason, the remaining 15 million years the remains resulted from clashes that have traveled to Earth and destroy the dinosaurs. "It does not give much time between meteorites resulted from collision to move in a certain resonance and fall to Earth 65 million years ago," said Amy Mainzer, one of the co-authors of the WISE study. "It is suspected that this process takes many tens of millions of years," added the specialist.
