There needs to be something of known size in the images to gauge the true size. This could almost be a fairly large gopher hole.

whatever the cause (”man made” in some way I suspect) there is way too much regularity and symmetry to the hole and it’s border - to my mind - for a comet or such to be the cause

who knows

it might be an an unnamed Russian bomb test crater and the U.S. is saying nothing about it for its own security reasons

Yeah, that was my guess too, given the area. Most people don’t realize how weird geology can get...

That little scar on the earth they're calling a "crater" doesn't even begin to compare to the massive black hole of finance and morality we have in the US---

Actually, Maars were featured on Geology News found on geology.com or through the Geology News link. It either links to or presents a lot of stuff.

I started feeding my interest in geology through basic textbooks, USGS and Arizona Bureau Mines publication. The internet has been a godsend to me along with You Tube. Wikipedia and blogs are generally good. Geology News is particularly good on news of the present state of the discipline. you can audit whole courses on You Tube though I have to be careful as to who is posting and why. It's a great hobby and, as you say, it can get weird. Structural geology has my interest just now. Difficult for me, a slow witted old man. However, it answers "how" questions I've had since reading about and working in Arizona's Superior (Magma) district.

If I wanted to see a big ass hole, I’d tune in to a presidential press conference.

I remember it had several verses.

Looks like the photos my Gastroenterologist gave me yesterday from my Colonoscopy.

Bet you didn’t see that coming, did you?
