News of a neat discovery: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/03/25/1206207065556.html "Arthur Hickman's discovery on Google Earth of what is almost certainly a rare meteorite impact crater in remote Western Australia has earned him both bragging and naming rights. Measuring 260 metres wide and up to 30 metres deep, the divot is thought to be between 10,000 and 100,000 years old and was stumbled upon in the rich, rust coloured landscape of the Hamersley Ranges in Western Australia's Pilbara region." Here is a link to the crater: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=k&om=1&ll=-23.037130556,119.68305&spn=0.002839,0.003616 Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
