 Around 13,000 years ago, giant animals such as mastodons, mammoths, saber-toothed cats and ground sloths disappeared from the Earth. Scientists have found evidence in sediment cores to support a controversial theory that an asteroid or a comet slammed into Earth and helped lead to this extinction of ice age animals and cooling of the globe. It's called the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and was first suggested in 2007. The hypothesis included the idea that an extraterrestrial body impacted Earth 12,800 years ago. This led to an extreme cooling of the environment, which in turn helped cause more than 35 species of large animals to go extinct. At the same time, human populations declined. The impact also has been suggested as the cause of large, raging wildfires that created enough smoke to block the sun and created an "impact winter," in which cold weather lasts longer than expected after Earth is impacted.

 This elaborate luxury kitchen is from the most expensive house ever to be sold at auction, Le Palais Royal in Florida. The 11-bedroom house was packed with over-the-top features, including $3 million (£2.3m) worth of 22-carat gold leafing. The polished mahogany cabinets have a curved front and gold beveled frames, which matches the gilded cornice on the ceiling and the trio of crystal chandeliers.
