Summary
| Description |
English: For Memorial Day, the B612 Foundation took a trip to the bottom of the best preserved meteorite crater on Earth. The foundation, named after the asteroid of Le Petit Prince, seeks to detect and divert devastating asteroids.
Meteor Crater formed in a fraction of a second as 175 million tons of limestone and bedrock were uplifted, forming the mile-wide crater rim in the formerly flat terrain. The meteorite was only 150 ft. wide. For a sense of scale, if this hit Kansas City, the blast radius would take out the entire city. |
