ANTARCTICA: ITALIANS DISCOVER REMAINS OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL IMPACT

There is no 'trace of the crater, but a terrible impact on the earth and' took place about 800,000 years ago, hurling debris distance of thousands of kilometers. Today an international team of researchers from the National Program of Antarctic Research (PNRA) has found fragments of the earth's crust in Antarctica documenting this catastrophic event, and its width, which until now appeared to be limited to the countries of Southeast Asia. 'During the Antarctic Ocean in 2006 we collected a lot of PNRA microtektiti, glassy or sketches of continental crust and that' was merged due to the impact of an asteroid or a comet - said Luigi Folco, head of research at the Museum National University of Antarctica 'di Siena -. We collected and analyzed the fragments we now know that these debris resulting from an event already 'known to scholars, took place almost a million years ago, which is not' yet been possible to find the crater. Debris were thrown up to a distance of 11,000 km, as in many countries of Indochina, Australia and now we can say, even in Antarctica. The phenomenon - already 'known as the most' cosmic impact of the recent violent history of our planet - and 'was therefore much more' extensive than one might suspect. And it 's really strange that the crater is not visible on the earth's crust. This, for now, remains a real scientific mystery '. The research is having a great resonance in international science, having been published by the important journal Geology and filmed by Discovery Channel. The discovery of the fragments' was made on the peaks of the Transantarctic Mountains in Victoria Land, Luigi Folco and Pierre Rochette. In addition to Folco, the National Museum of Antarctica, Section of Earth Sciences University 'di Siena, together analysis of fragments of the University Pierre Rochette' Aix-Marseille 3, Christmas Perchiazzi and Massimo D'Orazio 's Universita 'di Pisa, Marinella Laurenzi CNR - Pisa, Massimo Tiepolo, and the CNR-Pavia.
