Скачать или смотреть Top 5 Most Epic Asteroid Impacts and Planet-Smashing Collisions in the Solar System

The meteor that ended the reign of dinosaurs and triggered one of the biggest mass extinction events on our planet is surprisingly puny compared to the truly gigantic monsters out there in space. Although we, modern humans, live in a period of relative peace, the history of the Solar System is one of massive collisions and extraordinary violence. In this video, we discuss some of the biggest collisions that occurred in the Solar System, tracing them all the way back to the origins of our system.
