If you’ve ever driven southwest of Odessa, Texas, you may have passed by one of the most fascinating natural landmarks in the Permian Basin: the Odessa Meteor Crater. Estimated to be over 63,000 years old, this site marks the impact of a meteor that left a lasting impression—literally. Now home to a museum and self-guided trail, the crater has become both a scientific point of interest and a roadside attraction worth exploring.
The Geminid Meteor Shower is going to peak Sunday and Monday mornings before dawn, so if you’d like to get a glimpse of meteors falling from the sky, get up early and look up!
It's time again the Perseid meteor shower! This's years shower will peak around August 11. A new moon on August 14, 2015 will create perfect conditions for watching the meteor shower.
