EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Tabun Khara Obo crater, located in the southeastern region of Mongolia. The satellite image captured by NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite on August 28th, 2009, reveals the remarkable geological features of this impact crater. Marked by orange arrows in the upper left corner, the crater spans an impressive diameter of 1.3 kilometers and boasts a rim that rises approximately 25 meters above its floor. Believed to have formed around 150 million years ago, Tabun Khara Obo stands as a testament to the powerful forces that shape our planet's surface. Its unique characteristics make it a subject of great interest for scientists studying desert geology and meteorite impacts. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) utilized by NASAs Earth Observing-1 satellite has provided us with this stunning view from space. This high-resolution satellite image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and immense scale of this natural wonder. Located in Dornogovi Aimag, Mongolia, Tabun Khara Obo is an awe-inspiring sight that reminds us of Earth's ancient history and its ongoing transformation. As we explore our world through advanced technology like satellites and imaging instruments such as ALI, we gain valuable insights into our planet's past while also appreciating its breathtaking beauty from new perspectives.
