In Australia there is a strange crater that is worth seeing for all curious tourists. It is about Henbury, which is actually composed of 12 meteorite craters, but is considered as a unified area. The craters formed after the fall of a huge meteorite, which was split into 12 parts in the earth's atmosphere. The diameter of the smallest crater is about 6 meters, and the largest - 182 meters.
European researchers have discovered the meteorite craters in 1899. The craters were near the Henbury pasture, to whose honor they were named. As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, research began in the area, during which the numerous fragments of the meteorite with a total weight of 50 kg were found. Later the Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve was opened in the Henbury district, which has been protected by the state for several years.
