IT WAS A VERY LARGE STONE

”Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for some 200 million years.” //
”Their reign suddenly ended when a large meteorite hit the Earth. It really was huge, 12 to 15 kilometers in diameter!” //
”Like… when I come to work by bike it’s 13 kilometers. So about that much.” //
If that whole meteorite was placed in the ocean, it would easily reach the surface. Even the deepest place of the oceans, the Mariana Trench, is ’only’ 11 kilometers deep! //
The highest mountain in the world, Mt Everest, would pale in comparison with this meteorite. (The plane on this picture is not to scale but…) Passenger planes would have to fly AROUND it! //
”…” //
”Excuse me, I will lay down for a while.” //
”These scales are a tad overwhelming.”
