Imagine scrolling through Google Maps while planning a camping trip, and accidentally discovering a 390-million-year-old meteorite crater. That's exactly what happened to a Quebec amateur astronomer, and after a scientific expedition confirmed his hunch, Canada now has a brand-new officially recognized impact crater. One of the scientists who helped confirm the discovery, Dr. Gordon Osinski from Western University, spoke to Ken Connors. Photo Credit: THE CANADIAN PRESS/Handout - Gordon Osinski
