Funny you should ask that, just an hour ago I submitted several Australian meteorite impact craters. much older than this one, but still recognisable. A couple of teasers:

Shoemaker crater, WA. 30km diameter 1630 million years old.

Grosses Bluff in the territory. 22km in diameter, 142.5 million years old.

Why must we pay to admire something that was not man made?!

It's a speck that you know is the meteor if you gradually zoom out, yes, but if you looked at it on level 9, you would not say "Hey look, a meteor!".. I think it's safe to say it's viewable on Level 8, but just barely.. Level 7 is when it starts to become very clear. Still gargantuan, of course, I'm just saying...

I vist /. a few times a day and I saw the link here and clicked on it and the site was down. Could you post some stats about how many people actually visited? It is rather amusing. Can anyone explain what the cities in the middle of nowhere are doing? Sorry about the slashdotting! I vist /. a few times a day and I saw the link here and clicked on it and the site was down.
