โ๏ธ An Ancient Asteroid Breakup May Have Unleashed a Bombardment Across the Inner Solar System
Scientists believe a catastrophic asteroid breakup roughly 800 million years ago triggered a wave of impacts across the inner solar system, potentially peppering the Moon, Earth, and nearby planets all at once. The research helps explain mysterious crater clusters on the lunar surface and reshapes our timeline of the solar system's violent history. It may even shed light on conditions that shaped early life on Earth. Does ancient cosmic chaos make you more or less optimistic about life surviving in the universe?
