About 66 million years ago, an object estimated to be 6 miles wide (that’s almost 10 kilometers wide) slammed into the Earth. Now, scientists think they know where that object came from.

How did the Moon get its craters? What about the craters on Earth? Why do they look the way they do? Find out in this fun science activity, as you make your own craters by dropping balls into a tray of flour.

Astrobiologists like Jason Dworkin are keenly interested in the origins of life on Earth, but the evidence that they seek was erased long ago by Earth’s geology and chemistry. Fortunately, asteroids like Bennu preserve the solar...
