They say big asteroid haven't come close in years. but! When I was a kid delving news papers at 4:15 in the morning I saw an asteroid pass through our atmosphere that made the full moon look like a base ball campaird to a beach ball. It got so hot it looked like a red hot ball of iron. After it left the atmosphere it glowed bright red till it got so small going out of sight. I am now 74 years old and still can see it by memory. I text NASA meter program years ago but got no response. I guess you have to be someone important for them to believe you. It curved off its course slightly heading almost directly east. Only once in a lifetime some 59 years ago.
As a kid I always stared at Hudson Bay. That’s a _perfect_ semicircle of enormous size, with islands in the middle and everything. I didn’t see how it could be anything else. Apparently it’s not, but it sure looks like one 🤷
I was curious and discovered it " formed during the Pleistocene epoch by the weight of the continental ice sheet. As the ice retreated, the region was flooded by the sea "
Well, if the Theia impact theory that formed Earth's moon is correct, then the record size of a Terran impact crater would be "all of it", with two continent sized large low-shear velocity provinces (mantle blobs) floating around inside of Earth to this day, as a possible remnant; and of course, the Moon.
It is almost irrefutable after many geologic analysis. However there will always be some doubt because of course, a good chunk of the ancient earth surface is no longer on the surface because of tectonic movement.
Well, maybe. The problem with that is that Earth didn't exist yet. If two planets collide and form a new one, that is a new planet. In other words, doesn't count.
@@gronagor Earth was still considered Earth before its hypothetical impact with Theia. Earth was still the bigger object of the two, and it definitely existed. Theia was hypothesized to exist, and also hypothesized to be about the size of Mars when it impacted. If the hypothesized impact did indeed occur, then it certainly changed Earth; but Earth was still Earth, before and after.

Love the constantly varied topics Anton covers. Always make you think...as with this one: could this impact be the cause of both the extinction event and the start of the breakup of Gondwanaland? Keep up the good work, Anton, can't wait to see what you dig up tomorrow 🤔🤗🤗
I'm pretty sure that the record holder is the Thea impact that created the moon. But since this would have been enough energy to liquify the entire surface of the Earth, there is no trace of a crater remaining.
Just like with rugby and cricket it's always a battle of huge national pride between the Bokke and Wallabies, now even down to impact craters. Will this competition ever end?😀
Wow Deniliquin is my home town and have been enjoying hearing people murdering the pronunciation , but you pronounced it very well. Another thing to note, that whole area is very flat.
if it were not for the Vredefort impactor South africa would not have been able to mine as much gold as we do. The impactor turned the surface inside out and dumped the gold right on top. The gold mines of the Witwatersrand (white water ridge) lie along the crater rim.
I lived in Sudbury for a year … 1972 … That was before any environmental guidelines were in existence. The Sudbury area was just black, barren rock. No trees, no wildflowers, no grass, just bedrock with all life burned away from the smelting process to harvest the nickel. They had NASA astronauts prowling around INCO’s denuded land in practice for the moon landings. Not like that now, but I’ll always see that terrible darkness in my mind’s eye. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
SE area of Hudson Bay.. The Sanikiluaq Curve is too perfect to be anything other than an impact effect. They have found no shocked quartz but how many glaciers are needed to scrape the surface clean, over how many billions of years. It displays a perfect hemisphere,, with double ridges near the shore and a high center
I live in the Sudbury basin. I'm proud to say I live in the bottom of a crater.😁 I'm curious about the dirt here. How deep does it go to bedrock? Would there be some sort of survey I could get access to? I bet the mining companies have done this but i wouldn't know where to begin. Would the city have this kind of information? I'm not even sure what questions to ask or who to ask.

The Wilkes Land Crater in Antartica may be of comparable size (300-500km across) and the impact may have sundered Antartica from Australia. The Wilkes crater may be associated with the Permian mass extinction ~250 Mya, at which time the impact zone was antipodal to the Siberian traps region. Much as "antipodal focusing" may have refocused the Chicxulub impactor's energies on the opposite side of the planet, fracturing the crust and giving rise to the Deccan traps, so the Wilkes impactor energies may have travelled through the planet & refocused on the other side to blast open the Siberian traps. The Wilkes crater, on the edge of Antartica, was then very near the new Australian crater region, near the then-adjoining edge of Australia.
Please let me mention that this is hardly news to the Earth Science community. Ages ago, during my 4th year "geology of mineral deposits" course at the U. of Athens, Greece, I was taught about the famous Sudbury nickel deposits and their (most) probable meteoritic origin. I still have the textbook - it describes a large Precambrian-Archean impact (albeit without assigning numbers) that brought in the nickel deposits and relates it to the existence and size of the Sudbury Basin. So there you have it - nothing new about it in terms of discovery. Modern technology can certainly assign numbers and constrain the mechanics of the event, but its existence and economic potential were definitely known ages ago. Thank toy for your efforts...

It is almost certainly a crater, just because science deniers will make up nonsense to protect their hypothesis doesn't make the nonsense true.
Which is not a bad assumption since there are a lot of impact crater remnants in the general area, especially mid/northern Quebec.
I thought that about the Gulf of Mexico too.
I still think it is.
It is nice to hear from a greater crater rater.
