The so-called Meteor Crater in Arizona previously held the record for largest impact crater

The author and editor certainly have a thing for anything named before they started college.

Hint lady - it is called the Meteor Crater because it was one of the very first meteor craters to have been identified as such.

Started a new field in geology. Other than that ...

Got nothing to do with the patriarchy trying to keep the CCP down.

Well, we puny humans are calling it the Meteor Crater, but we don’t know how it self-identifies. Maybe it thinks of itself as the Tiny Asteroid Crater.
