NASA's Landsat 8 satellite unveils Luna crater, a striking 1.8-kilometer-wide impact site in Gujarat's Banni Plains grassland. Scientists confirm it as evidence of a meteorite strike, dating back 6,900 years. Luna's distinct mark on the landscape, captured by the Operational Land Imager, sheds light on Earth's rare impact craters, numbering fewer than 200 globally. Situated near the Great Rann of Kutch, Luna's discovery sparks intrigue into its geological and historical significance, hinting at ancient interactions with Harappan settlements. Luna stands as a testament to the dynamic forces shaping our planet's surface.
