Tamara Jones+FollowEarth’s Wildest Scar: Meteor Crater SecretsImagine a mile-wide crater in Arizona that’s basically a real-life time capsule from the Ice Age. Barringer Crater (aka Meteor Crater) was blasted out in seconds by a space rock 50,000 years ago—so powerful it vaporized itself! It’s the most intact impact crater on Earth, so well-preserved that NASA trained Apollo astronauts there. The wildest part? The original meteorite is almost totally gone, leaving only tiny fragments. Standing on the rim feels like staring into Earth’s cosmic past! #Science #SpaceHistory #MeteorCrater452Share
Michael Flores+FollowDid a Meteor Set Off a Grand Canyon Flood?Get this: scientists now think the asteroid that made Arizona’s Meteor Crater also triggered a massive landslide in the Grand Canyon—causing water to back up as high as a 20-story building! Driftwood and beaver tracks way above today’s river level finally make sense. The timing matches up almost perfectly: both the crater and the ancient flood date back about 56,000 years. Talk about a cosmic chain reaction! #Science #GrandCanyon #MeteorCrater391Share
