They found tiny droplets of sulfuric acid formed high up in the air after the well-known impact of a large asteroid 66 million years ago, blocking the sunlight for several years. They say this ‘big chill’ had far more catastrophic effects that first though, causing global temperatures to plummet for three years, even mixing oceans and killing off sea life.

According to the lead author of the study Julia Brugger from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK),

 ‘The big chill following the impact of the asteroid that formed the Chicxulub crater in Mexico is a turning point in Earth history,’ ‘We can now contribute new insights for understanding the much debated ultimate cause for the demise of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous era.’

However, the previous theories focused on the shorter-lived dust ejected by the impact.  The new computer simulations show that the droplets resulted in long-lasting cooling, a likely contributor to the death of land-living dinosaurs.
