The Barringer Meteorite Crater, also known as the Meteor Crater, is located near Winslow, Arizona. It is the largest, best-preserved meteorite impact site in the United States. The crater was formed approximately 50,000 years ago when a nickel-iron meteorite struck the Earth's surface at a high speed. The impact created a crater over 4,000 feet in diameter and nearly 570 feet deep. It is a popular tourist attraction, and its scientific significance has made it a key site for geological and astronomical studies.
