In fact it is the work of Alvarez et al 1980 on the K-T boundary that has generated the growing interest on whether these large bolide impacts could have influenced the history of life.

Since 1980, bolide impacts (bolide is a term of ignorance, meaning any object from space [comet, asteroid, Klingon Warship]) have been considered prime suspects for the forcing mechanism of some or all major extinction events in the earth's history.

The general public is intensely interested in bolide impacts, in particular because a large one, Chicxulub (pronounced cheek-shoo-lube), has been implicated in the demise of the dinosaurs. The comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted on Jupiter in 1994, and riveted us all to our TV screens.
