This #NationalSpaceExplorationDay, take a second to marvel at some of the literal impacts space has had on our planet! Not CraterLakenps, though. #DidYouKnow that the lake wasn’t formed by the landing of a massive meteor thousands of years ago, but rather a volcanic eruption so huge it collapsed a mountain and formed the deepest lake in the United States! ➡️Swipe for a picture of a real crater! (one made from a meteor crashing into Earth from space) This one can be found near Winslow, Arizona at the sight of the Barringer or Meteor Crater.
