The iron catastrophe occurred approximately 4.5 billion years ago, during the early formation of the Earth. This event involved the melting of the planet's iron and nickel, causing these metals to sink towards the center and form the Earth's core. This process was a key part of Earth's differentiation, leading to the formation of the layered structure of the planet we know today.
