Abasebenzi basezimayini eNtshona Ostreliya babethe igolide ngendlela entsha emva kokufumanisa imeteorite crater enkulu abaqikeleliyo ukuba yiminyaka eyi-100 yezigidi ubudala. Ifumaneka kufutshane nedolophu yase-Goldfields enemigodi yase-Ora Banda, le crater yeemayile ezintathu ngoku yenye yezona zikhulu emhlabeni.
Kwenzeka njani ukuba le crater inkulu kangaka ingafunyanwa ixesha elide kangaka? Ewe, ngokungafaniyo nezinye ii-meteorite crater e-Australia, kubandakanya neWolfe Creek Crater edumileyo, le ayibonakali kumphezulu. Indawo ekuthiwa yi crater ekusafuneka ibizwa ngegama ifunyenwe kusetyenziswa uphando lwe-electromagnetic, nemephu yamatye angaphantsi komphezulu.
Oku kufunyenwe kwenziwa kwindawo apho ubume beplanga bucace kakhulu. Ngekhe uyazi ukuba ibikhona ngenxa yokuba le crater igcwaliswe ngaphezulu kwexesha le-geological, utshilo ugqirha we-geth-based kunye ne-geophysicist uGqirha Jason Meyers. Inethiwekhi yeMatador . Kukho okuninzi okuninzi phaya.
