Dinosaur asteroid hit 'worst possible place'
By Jonathan Amos BBC Science Correspondent

    15 May 2017
 

Scientists who drilled into the impact crater associated with the demise of the dinosaurs summarise their findings so far in a BBC Two documentary on Monday.

The researchers recovered rocks from under the Gulf of Mexico that were hit by an asteroid 66 million years ago.

The nature of this material records the details of the event.

That is an impressive drill core for the sake of telling the story.

If the documentary airs tonight on the BBC, I wonder how long before it airs here.

I'll keep my eyes open for it.
