The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs had a very strange origin, scientists find

You’re reading this because something catastrophic terminated the more than 150-million-year reign of the dinosaurs. What opened the doors for mammals to dominate Earth was likely an extraterrestrial object; probably an asteroid. Where that asteroid came from has not been entirely clear.

According to a study published Thursday in the journal Science, the rogue space rock probably came from far beyond Jupiter, and was likely laced with traces from the stars that existed before the Sun.
