1.8 billion years ago, a space rock the size of a small city collided with what's now Sudbury, Ontario. The impact created one of the largest craters on Earth and also buried parts of Michigan in debris. Here's the story.

As part of this video, I traveled to the best Sudbury debris site in Michigan and met up with Dr. Bill Cannon, a Scientist Emeritus with the USGS who not only helped me understand the story, but also gave me a pretty incredible tour. I'm excited for y'all to learn from him.
