We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more than 3.5 billion years ago, making it the oldest known by more than a billion years. Our discovery is published in Nature Communications. Curiously enough, the crater was exactly where we had hoped it would be, and its discovery supports a theory about the birth of Earth’s first continents.

The crater was discovered by geologists at Curtin University and the Geological Survey of Western Australia in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia.

While natural forces have shaped the planet over millennia, humanity now holds the power to influence Earth’s future. Our actions today—especially in mitigating climate change—will determine the stability and sustainability of life on Earth for generations to comImagine floating in space, gazing on a frozen white orb.
