From the post:
"Around 66 million years ago, an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest smashed into Earth, killing off three quarters of all life on the planet—including the dinosaurs.
This much we know.
But exactly how the impact of the asteroid Chicxulub caused all those animals to go extinct has remained a matter of debate.
The leading theory recently has been that sulfur from the asteroid's impact—or soot from global wildfires it sparked—blocked out the sky and plunged the world into a long, dark winter, killing all but the lucky few."
