There are plenty of famous meteors, to know which one specifically you are speaking about, I would need a name. The most famous is probably the one that many believe killed all the dinosaurs. This meteor is estimated to be about 6 miles wide, and created a crater about 110 miles across. Many believe that the Chicxulub Crater in Yucatan, Mexico is this meteor.
