Start the quarter with a bang

We didn't actually get onto abiogenesis and the very early history of the earth yesterday (don't worry we'll get to it later). However I don't think I'll let that stop me posting this clip from the Discovery Channel. For everyone who has ever wondered what it would be like when a 500km diameter asteroid crashes into the earth. If you go to YouTube to watch it you can click a little link to watch it in high def.
