An artist’s rendition of the comet exploding in Earth’s atmosphere above Egypt 28 million years ago.
A team of scientists claims to have found the first-ever definitive evidence of a comet striking Earth.
After conducting a series of analyses, the researchers determined that a mysterious black pebble discovered years ago in the Egyptian desert is a piece of a comet nucleus — the first ever discovered.
"It’s a typical scientific euphoria when you eliminate all other options and come to the realization of what it must be," study lead author Jan Kramers, of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, said in a statement.
