Dit volg na \u2019n groter krater pas in Australi\u00eb ontdek is. Die Australiese krater, bekend as die Cooper Basin, is sowat 416 kilometer in deursnee. Die Vredefortkoepel is sowat 100 kilometer kleiner.<\/p>\n
Cooper Basin, noord van Adelaide, is reeds verlede jaar ontdek, maar sy grootte is toe op sowat 200 kilometer in deursnee geraam. Verdere ondersoeke het egter aan die lig gebring dat die nuwe krater uit twee dele bestaan, elk met \u2019n deursnee van sowat 200 kilometer.<\/p>\n
Wetenskaplikes vermoed die astero\u00efed, wat meer as 300 miljoen jaar gelede die aarde getref het, het oomblikke voor impak in twee verdeel.<\/p>\n
