Scientists in Australia find ‘smoking gun’ evidence of world’s oldest meteorite strike

Researchers from Curtin University have discovered a three-billion-year-old impact crater in Western Australia's Pilbara region, marking the oldest evidence of a meteorite strike ever found. This groundbreaking find sheds light on Earth's early history, including the formation of tectonic plates and the conditions that may have supported early life. The innovative dating techniques used in this study could revolutionize our understanding of ancient geological events and their implications for the development of life on Earth.
