Collision Alert

Was the beautiful crater in this picture of the moon (left of center, near the bottom, look for the white area) related to the extinction of the dinosaurs? Some scientists think just that. They believe that a collision of a monster asteroid 165 million years ago scattered many smaller asteroids about, including the one that hit the moon 100 million years ago, and the one that hit the earth 65 million years ago.
