00:00:01 In the beginning, there was darkness, and then, bang
00:02:15 as billions of rocky boulders collided
00:04:04 that a planetary collision was the culprit.
00:05:44 Wow, there's stuff all over the place here.
00:07:44 But it wasn't just the innermost planet that took a beating.
00:09:50 The moon itself fell into Saturn
00:11:43 disasters even determined
00:13:55 When Jupiter and Saturn reached that two-one resonance
00:15:48 that were forming in the region of the asteroid belt.
00:17:38 that pounded the Solar System
00:19:35 Number five on our countdown...
00:21:24 But some scientists are skeptical
00:23:15 3.8 billion years ago
00:25:01 the largest in the Solar System.

00:34:15 Shoemaker-Levy 9, named after its discoverers
00:36:00 takes the pollutants

00:39:58 that were falling in towards the Sun
00:41:58 Mercury might collide with the Earth
10:01:00 than they are on Earth.
