Summary:
- Researchers have confirmed that a large, unusual crater located in the North Sea was formed by a cosmic collision, likely a meteorite impact.
- The crater, known as the Silverpit crater, is about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) wide and is located approximately 240 kilometers (150 miles) off the coast of England.
- The study provides evidence that the Silverpit crater was created by a cosmic impact event that occurred around 60 million years ago, during a period of significant environmental changes on Earth.
