New research suggests that volcanoes were still erupting on the moon when dinosaurs roamed Earth. Researchers based their conclusion on an analysis of tiny glass beads brought back from the moon by a Chinese spacecraft.

      So… the planet or candy bar?

      Yes it’s a joke, however if a mars candybar hits earth at 99.999999% of the speed of light, I’d imagine the impact would be anything but a blip
