The crater is about 19 miles (31 kilometers) wide, more than twice as big as the next largest Saharan crater known. The timing of the impact has not been determined.
The impact that carved Kebira might have created an extensive field of yellow-green silica fragments, known as desert glass and found on the surface between the giant dunes of the Great Sand Sea in southwestern Egypt...
This airport is used particularly as parking bay for the temporary storage of temporarily shut down airplanes. The moreover one at the Mojave companies are settled air haven, which concern themselves with the dismantling and scrapping of airplanes.
Shoemaker crater is a meteor crater in Western Australia. Originally called Teague crater, it was renamed after the late planetary scientist Eugene Shoemaker.

It is left over from a major land-locked boat movie location, used for the all-wet, $120 million-plus epic "Waterworld", released in 1996, which until "Titanic", was the most expensive movie ever made.

Darwin Crater was discovered in 1972 by Ramsay J. Ford. The crater lies 26 km south of Queenstown Tasmania.
The crater was formed by a 20 - 50 m diameter asteroid that struck the Earth approximately 730,000 +/- 40,000 years ago.
The crater has a diameter of 1.2km and is 230 metres deep. It was a lake until about 30 000 years ago, today it is filled with sediment. The crater is ass...
The Silverpit crater in the North Sea was discovered in 2002 during a seismic oil exploration .
The crater is about 2.4 km wide and surrounded by a set of concentric rings, which extend to about 10 km away from its centre.
Its age is thought to be about 65 million years old, roughly coincident with the formation of the Chicxulub Crater.
The crater currently lies below a ...
