A 500-meter asteroid impact could trigger a devastating “impact winter,” bringing extreme cooling, food shortages, and environmental upheaval. However, a surprising outcome emerges from the ocean—plankton could thrive, potentially balancing some of the disaster’s effects. Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled this scenario, revealing how Earth’s climate and ecosystems might respond. Catastrophic …
