    That's nothing. Really want something to worry about? Try a death Star. [ cue the Star Wars music]

    Did a Death Star take out a planet for real? Something did
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    sounds good to me.

    I'm planning a trip there.

    I believe you are not allowed to walk in the actual crater.....who monitors or controls that.

    Gonna be a big trip, because from there Broome and committed to a great circle.

    It seems these things are meteoroids when outside the Earth'a atmosphere, a meteor while passing thru the atmosphere, and meteorite when what remains hits the Earth.

    Wolf Creek. You can walk to the top , but it is considered dangerous to climb into it.

    .......
    The word "meteor" originally meant any atmospheric phenomenon (1471), and is the origin of meteorology for the study of weather. It did not become (almost) exclusively used for what we cal meteors until the nineteenth century. Meteorite was coined in 1834, and displaced meteorolite (1802) which had the same meaning. Meteoroid dates to 1865. (Thanks Mr Oxford)

    The suffix 'oid' means 'Resembling', as in 'Planetoid', 'Alkaloid' etc. so, from that, I could assume a meteoroid would be something that is meteor-like but not quite the real deal. Dunno!
