Meteor impact calculator


Further to our discussion today of meteor impacts and the destruction of earth, here is an on-line meteor impact calculator. NASA's Near Earth Object program site is here. The photo, from the NASA site, shows a 1.2 km. meteor crater in Arizona caused by an impact between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago of an asteroid about 80 feet in diameter.
