Meteor Crater, known to scientists as Barringer Meteorite Crater, is a meteorite impact crater site in northern Arizona, between Flagstaff and Winslow along Route 66 / I-40. I made this video as a research project for my astronomy class. Academically oriented and over six minutes in length, it may only be watchable for hardcore science [...]
