He received a 1992 Nobel Prize for developing a theory that explained fundamental processes behind photosynthesis, respiration, oxidation and even how fireflies produce light.

It struck the seas off the coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula with the force of billions of atomic bombs, carving out the 112-mile-wide Chicxulub crater. The asteroid vaporized almost instantly.
