I don't know about that.

“At the same time”, or “Within a few thousand years of each other”?
Bush’s fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.
Womyn and minorities were hardest hit.
Same meteor it just broke apart right before impact.
1 roid broke in two on approach.
Think of the rosetta comet splitting at the “neck” but continuing in tandem to its destination.
Is this what “science” has become?
Couldn’t it have been the two larger halves of the same meteor that had split as it careened through the atmosphere?
It wasn’t that very long ago that we witnessed a multi meteor strike in Russia. Remember that?
I used to like to visit Big Well in Greensburg, KS before Greensburg was mowed over by the big tornado. At Big Well, they had a gift shop which also contained a meteor...a good sized one. It was roughly 2 feet x 2 feet and weighed upwards of 2k lbs. Small, but heavy due to the iron it was made of.
In the early 2000’s, a large meteor, the size of a small bus, fell in the Yukon, It didn’t destroy any dinosaurs! At the time it fell, scientists were quite surprised that it wasn’t a global life destroying event.
It may be a ‘small world’, but it’s a BIG earth which is designed to tolerate quite a bit more than scientists care to imagine.
That was my first thought. Of course, Shoemaker-Levy was a comet and those tend to break up when they enter the inner solar system.
The meteor in the article very likely broke up when it hit Earth’s atmosphere. Most of the pieces would then burn up in the atmosphere. The pieces that hit were the ones that were big enough to make it to the ground.
No surprise, considering a "day" on Jupiter is about 10 hours.
4 seconds. Darn!
“Same meteor it just broke apart right before impact.”
That is the most likely scenario.
Musta been Asteroid on steroid.
There, problem solved.
Now back to globulshhhhh.....
Well, geologically speaking, the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union are co-existent......................
Believe it or not, crater chains occurring on Earth are “controversial” in the science field.
We see them on the moon, on the moons of Jupiter, moons of Saturn, and on Mercury.
But for some reason on Earth, scientists have this “it hasn’t happened here” attitude.
So to date two craters to the same time, the science community will spend the next several years frothing over it and trying to discredit the ones reporting it.
Heck, there’s a buried chain of craters in the US called the 38th parallel structures.
Science is still “skeptical” about their origins.
That's what my proctologist said..................
