Earlier today, we offered an exclusive sneak peek of what NBC's Surviving Earth has to offer with tonight's chapter. The landmark series takes viewers back 450 million years to celebrate the incredible resilience of life and the extraordinary journey every creature has endured to still exist today. In S01E03: "When the Asteroid Fell," we're shown the impact that an asteroid had on life on this planet as we knew it. With the dinosaurs extinct, several new mammals would rise to stake their claim on this "new" planet. Along with an official overview of tonight's episode, we have an image gallery (including two exclusive images: one featuring a male and female Nanuqsaurus, and the other spotlighting a Nanuqsaurus and an Edmontosaurus). In addition, we have a special clip that offers a look at the moment an asteroid changed the course of Earth's history – and that's all waiting for you below:
