Gosses Bluff Impact Crater was formed by a Comet

What a hit- Australia was hit by a comet originating from the Kuiper belt, and the world felt earthquakes caused by the impact 142.5 million years ago. The current 5 kilometer wide impact formation was actually originally much larger before the mantle uplift and erosion over the years. This crater is a sacred place known as Tnorla by the Western Arrernte Aboriginal peoples, who also believe in its cosmic origin.
