Could This Asteroid End Life On Earth?
Description
It appears peaceful, serenely floating through the cosmos—but a single lump of rock contains more explosive power than every nuclear bomb on Earth combined. Traveling at 50 times the speed of sound, a major impact would release 100 million megatons of TNT, triggering tsunamis, earthquakes, and a global "oven effect" that could end human civilization. From the mile-wide scar in Arizona to the hidden craters of Iowa, discover the terrifying evidence of Earth's violent past and the small band of scientists racing to find the "celestial terrorists" before they find us.
