Took this picture because I was shocked at what I read! |
If this science "fact" was correct, dinosaurs saw no moon in the sky!!! That's ridiculous! This means dinosaurs, that went extinct from the impact of a 5-10 mile wide object 65 million years ago, survived the impact of a Mars sized object 100 millions years ago. LOL! If they couldn't survive the impact of a 5-10 mile wide object, they certainly didn't survive an impact with a Mars sized object.
Is this daily science fact calendar intentionally misleading readers? No, I don't think so. I think it is a poorly worded sentence that meant to say the Moon was formed 100 million years after the Solar System formed. This is in the ballpark of when scientists think a large impact formed our Moon. Unfortunately it was worded such that it states the Moon formed just 100 million years ago.
