Logoyskaya astroblema $$
It turns out that a meteorite fell near Logoysk, and the energy from its explosion exceeded the atomic bomb's power by 10,000 times. It happened about 40 million years ago. A crater with a diameter of 15 kilometers was formed at the site of the fall.
Scientists have established that the meteorite's fall in time coincides with the global extinction of marine species on Earth. It turns out that the Belarusians indirectly influenced the evolution. On the ground the crater can not be seen. Its outlines can only show photos from space.
