Summary

Dansk: En tegners opfattelse af et kastrofalt asteroidenedslag på den unge Jord. Et nedslag af en asteroide med en diameter på 1000 km ville fuldstændig sterilisere Jorden.
Deutsch: Zeichnung eines Einschlags eines sehr großen Asteroiden mit 1000 km Durchmesser auf die Erde.
English: Artist's impression of a 1000km-diameter planetoid hitting a young Earth. Artist's description: "A planetoid plows onto the primordial Earth, during the eons of time when conditions were ripe for the development of life. It is possible that life of kinds unknown to us appeared repeatedly only to be destroyed in collisions like this one which could 'rework' the entire surface. Fortunately the average size of debris declined sharply through geologic time, but the supply of wayward rocks a few kilometers in size is by no means exhausted."
