50,000 years ago, a cosmologic eye-blink, the Earth gained 300,000 tons of nickel-iron mass in about ten seconds. Meteor Crater Natural Landmark is a cool stop along I-40 in northern Arizona.

Hopping on an asteroid
Japan’s Hayabusa2 probe is currently in orbit around the asteroid Ryugu. It has successfully deployed two rovers, MINERVA-II1a and MINERVA-II1b, designed to literally hop around on the surface of the asteroid. The pics sent back so far are rather trippy. In particular, check out the video of the sun moving across the asteroid’s sky.
