UK's Biggest Meteorite Impact Discovered |
According to researchers from the Oxford and Aberdeen universities, about 1.2 billion years ago, a relatively large object entered Earth's atmosphere and fell towards the regions of north-west Scotland, to create the biggest meteorite impact on the territories of the United Kingdom. The exact location of the crater created by the meteorite is thought to lie somewhere near the town of Ullapool, as scientists found evidence of debris ejected during the meteorite crater formation.
