    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on Earth's latest impact crater discovered in Egypt. The crater created a 45 meter wide pock in southwestern Egypt. Cosmochemist Luigi Folco says though the crater was noticed in the year 2008, researcher have since spotted the blemish on satellite images taken as far back as 1972. Soil sample analyses of the crater site will help the researchers determine the estimate time when the event occurred.
