Forest Fire Leads to Ancient Meteorite Discovery
GRAND MARAIS, Minn. (AP) -- A forest fire has led to a chance discovery of debris from the impact of a meteorite 1.85 billion years ago, more than 450 miles away at Sudbury, Ontario.
That impact created a crater more than 150 miles across, scattering rock and dust over nearly a million square miles.
