Thanks to Soddjartj Raipriye’s research project grant we will soon learn more about the formation of Ramgarh Crater in Rajasthan, India.

At the center of this 4 km wide meteorite crater there is the 10th century Bhand Deva Temple, built on the edge of a pond. Quite a “celestial” site for such a beautiful temple. Learn more here.
