Gosses Bluff crater,seen from spaces. This impact crater is 160 kilometres to the west of Alice Springs,Australia. It is seen between two mountain ranges: the Macdonnell Range (right) and the James Range (left). The crater's central ring of hills,around 4.5 kilometres wide,has a faint outer ring. It is thought that the crater formed when a 1-kilometre-wide meteorite hit the Earth 142 million years ago. Image taken from the International Space Station (ISS) | |
