A Giant Shattered Space Rock Showered Earth and the Moon with Meteorites!

Around 800 million years ago, a massive asteroid broke apart in space and sent a giant wave of rocky debris flying towards our home planet and the Moon. These flying space rocks blasted giant craters into the dusty lunar surface and may have even triggered a major ice age on Earth. Just imagine looking up at the night sky back then and seeing a non-stop show of shooting stars!
