Viewing Gosses Bluff from space
astronomy.com

Gosses Bluff is one of the most significant impact structures in the
world. Located in Northern Territory, Australia, the crater has been
largely preserved in the dry, lightly vegetated region. Gosses Bluff was
probably formed by the impact of a large comet or meteorite about 142
million years ago.

This perspective view was created by draping a false-color composite
image over a digital elevation model. These data were acquired by the
Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection radiometer (ASTER)
instrument aboard the Terra satellite on October 11, 2003.
