There are signs of a massive - ENORMOUS! - meteor crater in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Mexico at a place called Chicxulub, at the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula. It is about 65 million years old.
All the dinosaurs died off about 65 million years ago. So did 85% of all life on Earth.
Could there be a connection? About 30 years ago, the scientist Luis Alvarez thought that the at-that-time accepted theories of what might have killed off the dinosaurs - a plague, a new predator, volcanoes - were too simplistic. Alvarez theorized that a cosmic impact might have played a factor. He was widely ridiculed for years, but his explanation is now widely accepted as correct.
