A One-Two Punch

Two asteroids crashed into Earth in the Carboniferous Period, leaving this distinctive pair of craters in northwestern Quebec.

This image originally appeared in the NASA Earth Observatory story A One-Two Punch.

NASA Earth Observatory images by Jesse Allen and Robert Simmon, using Landsat 8 data from the USGS Earth Explorer. Caption by Adam Voiland. Congratulations to Allen Pope (NSIDC), D Arseneault, and Lachezar Filchev for coming close to solving the puzzler and for providing interesting background information about the area.
