Want to discover an impact crater, and even get it named after you? All you've got to do is spend a few (hundred) hours poring over images in Google Earth or Google Maps. That's exactly what Geologist Arthur Hickman did, turning up a previously unknown impact crater when he was searching for iron ore in the mountains of West Australia. While he was browsing through images on Google Earth, Hickman's geology training helped him recognize the circular shape and raised rim of an impact crater. (source: universetoday.com)
