Impact Craters on Earth, Moon
Impact Craters on Earth, Moon and other planets provide evidence that the Earth has been struck by asteroids since it formed roughly 4.5 billion years ago. Once every few million years, an object large enough to threaten life on Earth comes along.

Meteorite specialist Denton Ebel, Curator in the Division of Physical Sciences, provides a brief history of impacts from the early days of the solar system to the impact that might have led to the demise of most dinosaurs on the planet.
ASTEROID CRASH COURSE
Asteroids can be hazardous to life on Earth, but they also provide clues about the early solar system. In the Asteroid Crash Course video series, Denton Ebel, curator in the Museum's Division of Physical Sciences, explains how asteroids formed and the varying degrees of destruction they cause when they fall to Earth.
