It is estimated that countless asteroids in the solar system hit our planet billions of years ago, when the Earth was just formed.

However, it is not easy for today to find the traces they left. Due to the technical movements of Aira, the earth’s crust has largely moved. In fact, when the world was on a single big continent billions of years ago, we have 5 continents separated from each other today. Therefore, most of the giant craters left by asteroids once hit the planet disappeared in this process.

Scientists thought that the oldest crater so far remained from a collision 2.2 billion years ago. However, this record can now change. The new Crater is located in the Pilbara Crater of Western Australia, where some of the world’s oldest rejected rocks are in the world, and is calculated to be 3.5 billion years old.

The whole world has returned to hell

The rocks in the area show that a space asteroid hit the ground at a speed of 36,000 kilometers per hour and left a 100 -kilometer -diameter crater behind it. This collision probably created a shock wave and debris cloud that burned and destroyed the whole world. If a similar collision was experienced today, it would be inevitable that life will end completely on our planet.

The team says he has found shredded cones in the area. These are strange rock formations that can only occur under intense pressure. This type of pressure can only be achieved by the destructive effect of external space. In 2023, a different team in the same region found evidence of impulsive globes. The discovery of the crater will provide new perspectives on the role that cosmic collisions may have played in the ancient world.
