New NASA Maps Show A Bad Day On Earth

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 11, 2003 @06:45AM from the that-is-a-bad-day dept.

Stephen Lau writes "ScienceDaily has an article talking about the new NASA maps that reveal the geography of the North American continent in amazing detail. One of the maps provides strong evidence of a 112 mile wide, 3000 foot deep impact crater which they believe was the comet/asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs and more than 70% of Earth's living species 65 million years ago."
