Forgive me if someone already posted this one - Scientists have discovered a "new" impact crater basin in Australia that is 250 miles wide. The impact is believed to have occurred approx. 300 million years ago. The impact remnant is 1.2 miles underground and scarred into the ancient, underlying bedrock.
