End of an Era - Dinosaur Extinction - Narrated Version

End of an Era
This is a narrated version of my previous upload ( • End of an Era - Dinosa... , and I think greatly improved because of the voiceover.
Special thanks for Jon Ramer, friend and President of the International Association of Astronomical Artists (IAAA), for the narration.
This short film outlines the events surrounding the extinction of the dinosaurs, 66 million years ago. The extinction was provoked by the impact of an asteroid (possibly a comet) some 10 to 14 km across, near Chicxulub, present-day Mexico. The crater today has been buried under ocean sediments but is still readily detectable with the appropriate tools. The blast threw up a layer of iridium - rare in the Earth's crust but common in asteroids - that covered the entire planet. The impact ended the Cretaceous period and the Mesozoic era, and paved for way for the Cenozoic in which we now live. It is known as the k-pg mass extinction.
This film was created using Autodesk 3ds Max, Adobe Photoshop
and Adobe After Effects.

The best thing about your videos and images is that you make the viewer feel that he is actually there. I think that spreading the word about them everywhere is the best way to get many views.

And still... 66 millions years later here we are, sitting behind our laptops watching this. THIS WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you

[@spaceboffin]

Thanks so much!

[@negarella_]

@@spaceboffin Thank YOU

[@HapNStance]

Nice to have Jon Ramer narrate your video. Really interesting.

Dinosaurs:RAWWWWWWRRR

[@shadmanfatmi7403]

wow!so intresting

[@jasonwarr7822]

If an asteroid hit the dinosaurs, we are next. Ain't we???

[@spaceboffin]

The Earth will be hit again, it's a statistical certainty. But given how rare these events are, I doubt humanity will be around. We'll have wiped ourselves out by then, if we haven't let the planet.

[@uchihasasukiya8137]

Humanity will bring about the extinction of our own race as well as life on this planet as we know it 💔

[@TheCleric42]

One error: you state that 75% of animals die for the impact. It’s actually 75% of species. For that to happen, >99% of all individual animals had to die.

[@spaceboffin]

Yes, I meant species. Thanks for spotting it.

You are the best mark I have read a cosmic menagerie pls give me a shout out and make more videos you are my role model

[@spaceboffin]

Thanks, Hector. Really glad to hear it! Cosmic Menagerie is being re-released later next year in a bookazine format - a special edition of Sky at Night magazine.

[@negarella_]

And we think some plastic bags and aluminum cans are gonna make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE ARE!

[@spaceboffin]

Absolutely. We're the ones who're going to suffer. The planet will get by...

[@negarella_]

@@spaceboffin Yep
