A research team of international space scientists, led by Dr. Matthias van Ginneken from the University of Kent's School of Physical Sciences, has found new evidence of a low-altitude meteoritic touchdown event reaching the Antarctic ice sheet 430,000 years ago.
Extra-terrestrial particles (condensation spherules) recovered on the summit of Walnumfjellet (WN) within the Sør Rondane Mountains, Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica, indicate an unusual touchdown event where a jet of melted and vaporized meteoritic material resulting from the atmospheric entry of an asteroid at least 100 m in size reached the surface at high velocity.
This type of explosion caused by a single-asteroid impact is described as intermediate, as it is larger than an airburst, but smaller than an impact cratering event.
The chondritic bulk major, trace element chemistry and high nickel content of the debris demonstrate the extra-terrestrial nature of the recovered particles. Their unique oxygen isotopic signatures indicate that their interacted with oxygen derived from the Antarctic ice sheet during their formation in the impact plume.
The findings indicate an impact much more hazardous that the Tunguska and Chelyabinsk events over Russia in 1908 and 2013, respectively.
This research, published by Science Advances, guides an important discovery for the geological record where evidence of such events in scarce. This is primarily due to the difficult in identifying and characterizing impact particles.

The discovery of an ancient meteoritic impact over Antarctica explained by Dr. Van Ginneken. Credit: Dr. Matthias van Ginneken The study highlights the importance of reassessing the threat of medium-sized asteroids, as it likely that similar touchdown events will produce similar particles. Such an event would be entirely destructive over a large area, corresponding to the area of interaction between the hot jet and the ground.
Dr. van Ginneken said: "To complete Earth's asteroid impact record, we recommend that future studies should focus on the identification of similar events on different targets, such as rocky or shallow oceanic basements, as the Antarctic ice sheet only covers 9% of Earth's land surface. Our research may also prove useful for the identification of these events in deep sea sediment cores and, if plume expansion reaches landmasses, the sedimentary record.
"While touchdown events may not threaten human activity if occurring over Antarctica, if it was to take place above a densely populated area, it would result in millions of casualties and severe damages over distances of up to hundreds of kilometers."

More laughable BS from the God Haters.
Really. I guess we’ve got nothing more to be concerned with in this life than anti-God fantasies.
PUC, an acronym for pure unadulterated crap.
Why does believing in a very old Universe make one a ‘God Hater’? Seems to me a God that works in the background for billions of years shows much more commitment than taking a week to get it all done.
“ Why does believing in a very old Universe make one a ‘God Hater’?”
Good question!
It seems that in the not too distant past many quite reputable scientists had no difficulty with both the belief in their theories and discoveries and a belief in God.
Something has changed. I think it’s the Government money.
(Also, these “scientists” are not so great.)
More Buffoonery from the fake Science department....

Do you know for a fact how long a “day” is to God?
L
Video at eleven. (or it didn’t happen)
Man goes to God and asks, what a million years is to Him. God replies, “one second.”
Then the Man asks God what a million dollars is to Him, and God says, “A penny.”
Then the man asks God, “Can I have a penny?”, and God said, “Sure, in a second.”
‘Why does believing in a very old Universe make one a ‘God Hater’?’
it doesn’t; and neither does the article even mention theology at all; but some people like being offended, and are quick to let us know...

You didn’t know that the FR has a substantial “Earth is 5,000 years old and the dinosaur bones were planted by the Devil” contingent?
Thanks Red Badger, nice find! Don't fret about the incoherent inchoate animus.

Also, before there was day and night, who can say how long in human terms a God day actually was.
