The largest asteroid ever to hit Earth, which slammed into the planet around 2 billion years ago, may have been even more massive than scientists previously thought. Based on the size of the Vredefort ...
About 2 billion years ago, an impactor hurtled toward Earth, crashing into the planet in an area near present-day Johannesburg, South Africa. The impactor—most likely an asteroid—formed what is today ...
A team of five scientists from the University of the Free State is about to undertake research into the destruction caused by the Vredefort Crater meteorite. The ancient meteorite could hold clues ...
The impactor that formed the Vredefort crater, Earth’s largest, about two billion years ago, was probably much bigger than previously believed—and would have had devastating consequences, a new study ...
Vredefort Dome, approximately 120 km south-west of Johannesburg, is a representative part of a larger meteorite impact structure, or astrobleme. Dating back 2,023 million years, it is the oldest ...
To better define the length scale of the dispersion, we compared the magnetization directions between two samples cut from the same core for 34 cores (68 AF demagnetized samples). The average angular ...
Researchers developed a more accurate simulation of the impact that formed Earth's largest crater -- Vredefort crater -- nearly two billion years ago. They found the impactor (most likely an asteroid) ...
