Huge impact crater found in Egypt

"The double-ringed crater â€“ which has an outer rim surrounding an inner ring â€“ is approximately 31 kilometers in diameter...It is more than twice the size of the next largest Saharan impact depression and more than 25 times the size of Arizona's famous Meteor Crater."

Boston University Center for Remote Sensing

Imagine the impact of that bad boy...whew!
Enjoy, Vince
