Description
About 66 million years ago, an asteroid about 14 kilometers in diameter hit the earth and wiped out a large part of the flora and fauna. The dinosaurs, which had dominated life on earth for 160 million years, disappeared.
What if a 500-kilometer-wide asteroid were to hit us...or we collided with another planet or planetoid? What would the last hours and minutes of our planet look like from the outside?
An attempt at visualization...

Well lets see. after the dinos died it took humans 65 million years to start and get their act going. I say start because we are still killers we can not and have no right to call this lump or rocks ours. The red ant will rule what left of this rock let it be an E.L.E. or someone press the big button The best we can hope for that what ever and when ever it happens that it is quick u know one second we are here the next we are gone If we have just the time to KISS our XXX goodbye me I will want one last cuppa

These doomsday images are breathtakingly beautiful, even though it would end to our civilization as we know it! :-)

Over the course of millions of years, various asteroids have hit the Earth, mostly smaller specimens, and many that were heading towards us from the asteroid belt fortunately passed by the Earth!
But it is only a matter of time before another chunk of rock hits us that will cause really great damage. We and our direct descendants will most likely not have to experience this (luckily!!!), but someone will at some point!
Nothing is made to last forever, and neither are all the beauties we have on Earth! That is why we should do everything we can to preserve and look after them...and not destroy them out of profit and ignorance.
