How big was asteroid that killed dinosaurs?
The asteroid was about 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) in diameter and was traveling about 27,000 mph (43,000 km/h) when it created a 124-mile-wide (200 km) scar on the planet's surface, said Sean Gulick, a research professor at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, who led the study.
And another question, when was the last time an asteroid hit earth?
66 million years ago The last known impact of an object of 10 km (6 mi) or more in diameter was at the Cretaceous?Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. Are meteors good luck? A popular belief is that wishing on a falling star, makes the wish come true. As witnessing a meteor is a rare event and many other rare events too are associated with good luck, it has probably given birth to this superstition.
Is it good luck to see a comet?
History of comet. They said that each time a comet appeared, it would bring bad luck with it. Whenever a comet appeared, a king would die.

What is the difference between a meteor and asteroid? An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the Sun. Asteroids are smaller than a planet, but they are larger than the pebble-size objects we call meteoroids. A meteor is what happens when a small piece of an asteroid or comet, called a meteoroid, burns up upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
Correspondingly, what does a shooting star in a dream mean?
We generally dream of happenings in the sky when we are exploring ambition or aspirations. A star is a symbol that can show wishes, aspirations or our desire to be recognized for our accomplishments. A shooting star carries the idea of wishes with something that is burning out. Accordingly, what's the difference between a shooting star and a falling star? A "falling star" or a "shooting star" has nothing at all to do with a star! Meteors are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars. If any part of the meteoroid survives burning up and actually hits the Earth, that remaining bit is then called a meteorite.
