Meteor Crater

Meteor City wasn't on my radar but what a fabulous find. The movie was good. One of us did the rim tour and one the outlook talk/tour. Both were excellent with great guides. If you like science this is one great stop. I don't have alot of pictures because the interesting things are in the displays and stories. I loved this stop. It is a commercially run enterprise but they are running it right, with lots of scientific information.

  Too big to photograph all at once.
Left half.
Right half.

Preset viewing telescopes focused on items. There are also some that you can aim yourself.

Astronauts trained for the moon landing here.
Interesting story about how they fell during training and ripped a space suit which resulted in a redesign with thicker material. Would have killed them on the moon if the suit had ripped.
