What Scientists Found at Wolfe Creek Crater Changes Everything We Knew

Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3pA1... The Djaru people have a story describing an evening star that grew so hot it fell from the sky, causing a massive explosion, a blinding flash, and a wall of dust and noise. That story was passed down for generations before any scientist arrived. In 2019, researchers using cosmogenic dating techniques confirmed the crater was formed by a genuine meteorite impact, and revised its age dramatically in the process. This is the second largest meteorite crater on Earth, and the ancient story describing how it got there turns out to be remarkably accurate. #abandonedplaces #unearthedsecrets #australianhistory #australia
