In 1937, earth scientists John Boon and Claude Albritton Boon were the first to suggest that the Vredefort structure was the scar of an ancient meteorite impact.
Pasteurization was discovered in a black Crater when Louis Pasture found out how to heat his tea.
The Chicxulub Crater is located near the city Chicxulub in Mexico. This crater is approximately 66 million years old and discovered by Antonio Camago and Glenn Penfield in the late 1970's.
The mineral moissanite was discovered in Canyon Diablo in 1983 by Henri Moissan. Moissan discovered the mineral while examining rock samples from a meteor crater.
The crater Tycho .. discovered by Tycho Brahe The crater Copernicus
The largest known crater on the planet is the Vredefort Crater in the Free State Province, South Africa. It is a couple hundred kilometres across and is one of the only large meteorite impact craters that one can see exceptional detail into the geological composition of craters. The crater has a diameter of roughly 250 - 300 km.But it is important to note that there is a chance that there is a larger one in Antarctica as scientific research there suggest a 'possible' one, but studies have not confirmed this yet.
Vredefort was created in 1878.

The Crater Constellation was originally listed by Ptolmey as one of the original 48 constellations circa 165 BC
its a big hole. it's not that hard to find
Vredefort Dome
The Chicxulub Crater is located near the city Chicxulub in Mexico. This crater is approximately 66 million years old and discovered by Antonio Camago and Glenn Penfield in the late 1970's.
You can visit three towns that are situated on the dome, for instance. The towns are Vredefort, Parys, and Koppies. Parys, the largest of the three, is a tourist hub. It is on the banks of the Vaal River.
