Dinosaur Killing Asteroid Formed Beyond Jupiter Orbit Say Scientists

Millions of years ago, giant creatures like dinosaurs used to roam on earth. It is said that a heavy asteroid from space collided with the land of rocky stone and there was havoc on the earth. During this collision, dinosaurs were eliminated from the earth. Now scientists have made a shocking estimate about this esteoid. Scientists say that the Estroid, which hit the earth, was also born beyond the orbit of Jupiter. That is, the asteroid was not an asteroid around the earth. He came from a distance of crores kilometers in the solar system. Report According to, the recent discovery published in the Journal of Science says that scientists have made a big disclosure about the Estroid collided with the earth 6.6 million years ago. It was born beyond the Orbit of Astorid Jupiter. It has also been confirmed that it was not a comet.

It fell into the asteroid chicxulub which is currently present in Mexico as the Yukaon Peninsula. Scientists are saying that renewed research about this place can tell what effect the astronomical bodies colliding with the earth would have had an impact on the planet. The prominent writer of the study, Mario Fisher Godde, says that he can say with a claim that this asteroid must have been born beyond the orbit of Jupiter. The author says that this kind of information will help further understand how water would have come on the earth.

The basis of this claim of scientists is analysis of sediment samples made during the period between Creteseas and Paliozoen era. This was the time when the effect of collision of asteroids was present on Earth. For this, scientists have done research on an element called Ruthenium. This element is very rare on earth, but it is very common to find this element in asteroid. After a study of several geological layers in the Chicxulub, it was found that the Ruthenium present here came from one asteroid.

The study claims that the conflict of the asteroids created a mahabhocard on the earth, causing a ice age on the entire earth and many more types of life were destroyed along with dinosaurs. This was caused by C-type asteroids which came beyond the Jupiter.
