Stockholm . 458 million years ago, the Earth suffered a double asteroid impact, which is the origin of craters visible on the Sweden today.
According to an international team of scientists, led by Jens Ormo Centre for Astrobiology ( CAB – INTA – CSIC ), this event might be “one of the greatest cosmic catastrophes” in the history of the Solar System
<. p> That impact caused the asteroid would break and scatter chunks of rock. Two of these pieces slammed into shallow seas that covered the current Scandinavia, causing uplift of the crust.
This work, which was published in ‘Scientific Reports’ aims as ‘signature’ this event central Sweden (about 20 kilometers south of the city of Oestersund) specifically, Lockne crater 7.5 kilometers and close to another crater called Malingen. They say Lockne crater was created by an object about 600 meters long, while the Malingen measuring 150 meters.
The study supports the suspicion that long, related these craters, only . 16 kilometers away, with an “extremely rare” event space caused by asteroids that travel in pairs
