        @neiltyson And the story of the geologist who strived to prove it was indeed from a meteor was almost Cosmos-worthy!

        @neiltyson Just visited a few days ago on a road trip! It was interesting to learn of its history with the space program in the 60's

        @neiltyson Having been there one windy AZ day, I would say it qualifies as the Ideal Form of craters, so philosophically, the name fits.

        @neiltyson Hard to believe that was a "small" meteor that made that. Still rather impressive though.
