  The Miracle Planet by Bruce Brown (PBS-TV Show #1)
This huge crater in the heart of the Arizona desert was caused by a meteorite, or rocky meteor which plunged to earth between 25,000 and 50,000 years ago.
At an early stage, the earth was undoubtedly pockmarked with craters as meteorites rained down on the unprotected surface of the primeval planet.
The antiquity of this crater, together with the action of ice age glaciers, have obliterated all trace of the original meteorite.

 Bruce (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce is a small lunar impact crater located in the Sinus Medii.
The interior has a generally higher albedo than the surrounding terrain, but there is a band of darker material cross the mid-point of the crater from west to east.

His collaborators on the latest radar probe of the moon were Donald Campbell, professor of astronomy at Cornell; J.F. Chandler of Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory; and Alice Hine, Mike Nolan and Phil Perillat of the Arecibo Observatory, which is managed by the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center at Cornell for the NSF.
The Arecibo radar probed the floors of two craters in permanent shadow at the lunar south pole, Shoemaker and Faustini, and, at the north pole, the floors of Hermite and several small craters within the large crater Peary.
In contrast, the Clementine spacecraft focused on the sloping walls of Shackleton crater, whose floor can't be "seen" from Earth.

 Chesapeake Meteor
Since the crater is hidden from sight, tangled clues began to emerge during a search for water for thirsty Virginians, which slowly led to this unexpected discovery far out in the Chesapeake Bay.
The crater appears to be greatly influenced by an enormous blast-splash (about 30 miles high) that collapsed back down, vaporizing billions of tons of seawater, which possibly caused subsequent steam explosions.
Scientists now theorize that the slightly salty to brackish groundwater that occurs in the aquifers adjacent to and with the crater (beneath the lower portions of the York-James and Middle peninsulas) is due to the differential flushing of seawater related to the structure of the buried crater.

Because the Crater Site seemed to fit our research needs, and because testing of the site would benefit the town of Ronda, an agreement was reached between the site's landowner, the town of Ronda and the Wake Forest field party.

Devon Island and Haughton Crater are now being explored as a Mars analog through the NASA Haughton-Mars Project (HMP), led by Pascal Lee, a planetary scientist at the SETI Institute.
Many features outside Haughton Crater itself are also contributing to solving, and sometimes deepening, the mysteries of Mars.

Bruce Sterling (born April 14, 1954) is an American science fiction author, best known for his novels and his seminal work on the Mirrorshades anthology, which defined the cyberpunk genre.
Sterling is widely considered to be, along with William Gibson, Rudy Rucker, John Shirley, Lewis Shiner, and Pat Cadigan, one of the original founders of the early 1980s creators of the pessimistic and dystopian cyberpunk genre of science fiction.
His first novel, Involution Ocean featured the world Nullaqua where all the atmosphere was contained in a single, miles-deep crater; the story concerned a ship sailing on the ocean of dust at the bottom, hunting creatures called dustwhales that lived beneath the surface.

Ledlie's untrained white division went across the field to the crater and, instead of moving around it, thought it would make an excellent rifle pit and it would be well to take cover and so they moved down into the crater itself, wasting valuable time while the Confederates, under Maj. Gen.
Bushrod Johnson, and artillery slaughtered the IX Corps as it attempted to escape from the crater.

Barringer Meteor Crater (more commonly known simply as Meteor Crater) in Arizona is one of the places that I’ve always wanted to visit, but - due to it’s remote location - I never expected to actually get there.
For example, there is a steam engine in the bottom of the crater - a relic of earlier (and unsuccessful) attempts to find a buried impactor (there isn’t one) - that looks no bigger than a small table from the rim.
As Bruce and I drove away, I have to admit to looking up at the sky almost defensively a few times.
