New research led by scientists at Nanyang Technological University, in Singapore, may have located a long missing impact crater left by a powerful meteorite nearly 800,000 years ago. The strike, by what is thought to be a 2 kilometer wide meteorite, was so strong that it flung debris over three continents. The researcher’s evidence suggests that the crater is buried beneath a volcanic field in Southern Laos.
