"Enormous Hidden Meteor Crater Discovered in Australia"

Experts believe that the largest meteor crater on Earth, spanning up to 520km in diameter, is hidden deep beneath the town of Deniliquin in New South Wales, Australia. This crater, believed to be caused by a meteor twice as powerful as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs, is linked to the Late Ordovician extinction event that occurred between 445.2 and 443.8 million years ago. The crater has yet to be tested by drilling, but its existence is supported by geophysical data and magnetic patterns. Further research and drilling are needed to determine the exact age and gather physical evidence of the impact.
