About this episode

What if we told you that the giant crater believed to have ended the reign of the dinosaurs is still here on Earth—but the actual meteor that made it? Nowhere to be found. The Chicxulub Crater in Mexico is one of the most significant impact sites in our planet’s history, yet the meteor itself seems to have vanished without a trace. So where did it go? Why aren’t scientists showcasing its remains? Join us as we dive into one of Earth's greatest unsolved mysteries—the missing Chicxulub meteor—and explore what really happened 66 million years ago.
