- Asteroid impact, not volcanoes, made the Earth uninhabitable for dinosaurs. A new study modelling the Chicxulub asteroid impact 66 million years ago has shown that only the asteroid impact could have created conditions that were unfavourable for dinosaurs across the globe. https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/198595/asteroid-impact-volcanoes-made-earth-uninhabitable/ 14 comments science

- Astronomers discover the first known exoplanet to survive a catastrophic collision with another planet. The impact, which occurred about 1,700 light-years away, stripped the planet (Kepler-107c) of its silicate mantle, leaving behind a dense, iron-rich core that's roughly the size of Earth. http://www.astronomy.com/news/2019/02/astronomers-find-first-evidence-of-giant-collision-between-exoplanets 15 comments science
