An asteroid that fell 430,000 years ago has been found in Antarctica

An international research team has found evidence that a small asteroid landed in Antarctica 430,000 years ago.

Researchers believe that if such a large celestial body falls into the city, it could be deadly to millions of people.

According to researchers, a large celestial body fell into the Earth's atmosphere for at least a hundred meters, and as a result of the explosion, the particles spread around, but the force of the explosion was not enough to create a shock crater.
