Goat Paddock CraterThe Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA?s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this natural-color image of Goat Paddock Crater on April 30, 2010. Sunlight from the northeast leaves southwestern facing slopes in shadow. Radial gorges extend outward from the crater, especially in the east and southeast. Cliffs surround the crater, rising to a height of about 100 to 150 meters (330 to 500 feet). Spanning roughly 5 kilometers (3 miles), Goat Paddock Crater has a slightly elliptical shape. Dating from the Eocene Epoch, the crater is likely less than 50 million years old, but the impact bored into Proterozoic sandstones well over 500 million years old. | Location: Kimberly Plateau, Northwestern Australia, Australia.
