An Asteroid “Double Disaster” Struck Germany in the Miocene

Katherine Kornei, Science Writer by Katherine Kornei 27 January 202126 January 2023

By analyzing sediments jostled by ground shaking, researchers have shown that two impact craters near Stuttgart were created by independent asteroid impacts rather than a binary asteroid strike.
