There’s a cool effect in this answer. Highlight “Chicxulub asteroid” and do a Google search.  
Spoiler: A meteor streaks across your screen and crashes.

You’re up @Slithy_Tove !

Ah, the double-edged sword of winning a round in the caption contest. You have to go find a worthy follow-up. Hopefully, this isn’t a repeat.
