Kirk Johnson, director of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington D.C., paleobotanist, author and science communicator extraordinaire, helps us understand the worst day in the history of Earth: the day an asteroid slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs.
We also break down our song "Chicxulub," a chipper-sounding tune about the site of that asteroid strike.
It's the perfect Halloween episode for the science-minded.
