this lake wasn't discovered by NASA satellite in 2004. I'm from India. growing up in 90s we have read about Lonar lake & it's origin due to meteorite impact in our high school books. few years back even Discovery Kids India did a story on this lake in their programme "Mysteries of India". you really don't need to sensationalize everything.

It's perfectly circle because Jaadu's spaceship landed there .

I have experienced a magnetic anomaly when boating in Finland near the ancient Raseborg castle. The compass went completely haywire in a spot of the sea, Later I found out that there was an magnetite (iron ore) outcrop below the sea. The anomaly in India is most likely a nickel-iron meteorite.

This channel has the potential to make great content, but for some reason they think it is a good idea to exaggerate and dramatize interesting science. How about longer clips from those interviews instead of snippets without context? Why do you need to make it seem like the beginning of an action movie? Why do channels like Smarter Every Day and Veritasium get millions of views? Because they engage the viewer in scientific thinking instead of this weird clickbaity garbage.

50, 000 years ago the Arizona crater was formed, and the Odessa, TX crater, and that one in India. A lot of impacts during that time.

"Meteorite Hunter" LMAO IM FUCKING DEAD

[zarrus]

I love how all of these videos are simple and genre-less then they make it as dramatic as possible

"Evidence of the impact"

Hmm...like a giant fucking hole in the ground?

ya think?

I'm from #India, this lake is Lonar lake, this lake is near my village110km away, when I was in 6 th standard, I was gone their in my school trip . it's feeling amazing NASA sat watch this lake and one of my favourite show, shown it in a episode 😁

Measure how strong the magnetic interference is at multiple places there, take watersamples and do some diving there

[namelast-ddrj]

I found it cringy that they say that they are testing if it is a meteor impact, when the lake is 1. circular 2. meteors can cause weird things to happen with electronics/compasses. 3. If people can't easily figure out that a lake is a impact crater as recent as it is, which is rare for it here, then I would have been leader of the whole world right now. I figured out all of their theories within 5 seconds of looking at the picture in the video. If people can't see that, then they can't see the moon if it was one inch away from their face.

I live near that crator, xD, fun fact: compass doesn't works there and you're not allowed to swim or go boating in there

[theination]

I can look at the lake and see that it was caused by a meteor and its magnetic from metal in the meteor

[hitmanfanofrohitvirat]

Am from Buldhana I visited this place for 8-9 Times but thank you for exploring the Lonar next time when you visit our district inform me I'm in tourism marketing manager

[herpsenderpsen]

i absolutely hate the americanisation of science programs. How about less audio/visual effects and more serious science talk?

[navidmehdi]

has no one ever thought of this. the Bermuda circle

1:23 Brad Pitt has left his acting career to become a meteor hunter...
