The exciting story takes place nearly 15 million years ago: A massive asteroid struck the Earth at a speed of 70,000 kilometers per hour. Children will learn how this prehistoric catastrophe destroyed all life in the region of present-day Bavarian Swabia, how new life eventually emerged, and what traces of the impact can still be found in the Nördlinger Ries in this unusual narrative non-fiction book. "The Bang from Space" was created in collaboration with the UNESCO Global Geopark Ries.
