A Paleoarchaean #ImpactCrater in the Pilbara Craton, Western Australia: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-57558-3 -> "we report the discovery of shatter cones in a complex, dominantly metasedimentary layer, the Antarctic Creek Member (ACM) [...]. The shocked rocks of the crater floor are overlain by (unshocked) carbonate breccias and pillow lavas, stratigraphically constraining the age of the impact to 3.47 Ga and confirming discovery of the only Archaean crater known thus far."

Earth May Have Had A Ring System 466 Million Years Ago

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Earth may have had a ring during the middle Ordovician, from ca. 466 Ma.
• Breakup of an asteroid passing within Earth's Roche limit likely formed the ring.
• Among several features preserved is a near-equatorial band of impact craters.
• Shading of Earth by the ring may have triggered a global icehouse period…”

#PPOD: This spectacular view of Gosses Bluff (known as Tnorala to the Aboriginal people), Northern Territory, Australia, was photographed from the International Space Station. About 142 million years ago in the early Cretaceous period a meteorite probably one kilometre in diameter struck in the heart of Australia, blasting a 22-kilometre-wide hole out of the earth's crust.
