meteorite

A huge meteorite first discovered in 2014 caused a tsunami bigger than any in known human history and boiled the oceans, scientists have discovered.

The meteorite S2 was much larger than the space rock we are most familiar with.

The team have now re-constructed just what the S2 meteorite did when it violently careened into Earth.

The impact site in Eastern Barberton Greenbelt is one of the oldest places on Earth with remnants of a meteorite crash.

These impacts are similar to what geologists have found about other big meteorite impacts and what was suspected for S2.
