Researcher visits the Odessa Meteor Crater — hoping it will help prepare humanity for future asteroid strikes
Odessa bears the scars of a blast that killed everything in its path. That’s Odessa, Texas. It was hit by a meteor about 60,000 years ago. Fulbright scholar Ania Losiak from Poland has been studying the crater, looking for what she describes as the meteor’s “murderous behavior” to see how mankind can be prepared for the next one. Mitch Borden, of Marfa Public Radio, met her at the crater to learn more about her work.
