The last big asteroid hit, it is thought, took place about 65 million
years ago and precipitated the end of the dinosaur dynasty, birds excepted.
There have been about 4 or 5 big hits on the earth that we know of, at
least one was more catastrophic than the event which took out the dinosaurs.
I have a question for the astronomers and statisticians of CoV:aren't
we about due for another big hit sometime soon? What are the odds? How
"soon" is soon in geological time?
anxiously yours
Blunderov
