Barringer Crater on Earth
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Forty-nine thousand years ago, a meteor struck Arizona, creating the Barringer Crater. This impact site is over a kilometer across and was the first feature on Earth recognized as an impact crater. Today, we know of over a hundred such craters on our planet. It is a stark reminder of the forces at play in our Solar System.
