Asteroid Impact Effects and Research

The video explores the catastrophic asteroid impact that led to the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. It details the immediate and long-term effects of the impact, including tsunamis, global fires, and a drastic climate change. The origin of the asteroid is traced to the Oort cloud, and the video discusses potential future threats from space rocks. NASA's efforts to prevent such disasters, like the DART mission, are also highlighted.
