Scientists Looking Through a Star Dome

Father-and-son research team Luis and Walter Alvarez peer through a star dome, which shows the orbit and location relative to the earth of stars and constellations. The Alvarezes have postulated that a giant asteroid hit the earth in the Cretaceous period, approximately 91 million years ago, and thus caused an atmosphere like a nuclear winter, which possibly led to the extinction of dinosaurs.
