Scientists Find One of World's Largest Asteroid Impact Zones in
Australia

It's believed to be the largest of its kind ever found, and it's buried
under miles of rock.

Scientists from the Australian National University say they've located a
248-mile-wide asteroid impact zone in the middle of the continent.

Recently published in the journal Tectonophysics, the research details
how the meteorite broke in two before it struck Earth and how the
geophysicist team found two scars from the impact.

Here's the catch: in the hundreds of millions of years since the twin
meteorites struck, the crater disappeared under layers of rock.
