“But to carve the Grand Canyon, Earth required millions of years.  To excavate Meteor Crater, the universe, using a sixty-thousand-ton asteroid traveling upward of twenty miles per second, required a fraction of a second.  No offense to Grand Canyon lovers, but for my money, Meteor Crater is the most amazing natural landmark in the world.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
