A celestial collision was a visual feast from an observer's perspective, but for those experiencing it firsthand, it was a terrifying disaster!
Comets did not emit light themselves; like the moon, they reflected sunlight. So when a comet dozens of times larger than Earth approached, it blocked the path of the sun's rays!

"Unless we make it
