The Meteorite Crater, also known as the Barringer Crater, is a well-preserved impact site located in Arizona, USA. Formed about 50,000 years ago, it was created when a nickel-iron meteorite, approximately 150 feet wide, struck the Earth at high speed. The impact resulted in a crater that is about 1,200 meters wide and 170 meters deep. This site is significant for scientific research, as it provides insights into the effects of meteorite impacts on Earth. The crater is a popular tourist destination and is managed by the Barringer Crater Company, which offers educational tours and exhibits about the impact event and its geological significance.
