I think this is Meteor Crater in Arizona… Went there last year and it’s insane how big it is once you’re actually standing on the Rim.

The odds of a metor, big enough to make a significant crater, right next to a tourism hot-spot called Meteor-crater is phenominal. Research site at middle of crater somehow survived.
Jokes aside. This was one of my favorit stops in my cross-usa trip back on 2013, when usa was chill. Good ol’days.

Joe McMoneagle has a picture of Mars where a meteor landed right next to the visitor center there as well. Not just an Earth thing!

Isn’t that where they found Thor’s hammer?

Ever wondered why so many meteors landed in craters?

When I visited here as a kid, the park ranger asked if I came to visit “the crater or the mountain?”. I looked at him confused, until he took my ticket with this photo on it, and flipped it upside down.

Even more remarkably, the roads to the visitor center were spared as well 🙂 .

True story: I had a friend (engineer, no less), whom I visited Hoover dam with, and he was astounded at the amount of power it would have taken to pump all the water from downstream into Lake Mead. I am not kidding.

To be fair, it’s hard to aim from so high up.

A moment of silence for the poor landscapers please.

They rebuilt it after the crash, dummy.Â
You could even see where Moe’s bar was.
