Do We Know What Killed the Dinosaurs?
published by the NASA
This article from the NASA Astrobiology Institute raises some issues in the accepted theory that the mass extinction event of the late Cretaceous was caused by a meteorite impact. The article discusses specifics behind what would happen if an asteroid were to hit the Earth, and possible reasons why some species would survive and others didn't.
