The cones provide “unequivocal evidence” of a very high speed meteorite impact 3.47 billion years ago, the team wrote, and that the age of the impact is “statistically indistinguishable ...

Modern weather radars detect meteorite falls, confirming shocking daytime flashes and guiding precise recoveries.

This can build up over millions of years to give asteroids significant speed. Larger asteroids hitting the moon or Mars can also send shrapnel our way. There have been no confirmed meteorites ...
