Most researchers think the Late Heavy Bombardment was caused by the giant planets moving around, orbiting closer to and farther from the sun and pushing lots of smaller solar system objects like asteroids along with them.
When did the bombardment start?
The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) is a theory that the Earth, and the entire inner solar system, suffered through an intense spike in asteroid bombardment roughly 4 billion years ago.
What was the bombardment?
A bombardment is an attack by artillery fire or by dropping bombs from aircraft on fortifications, combatants, or towns and buildings. Prior to World War I, the term was only applied to the bombardment of defenseless or undefended objects, houses, public buildings, etc.
