In the third installment on some of the largest meteorites to have ever hit Earth we explore some of the larger but lesser-known impacts on the planet. These include the impact sites of Chesapeake, Popigai, Manicouagan, Sudbury, and the largest of them all - Vredefort. We explore which may have been possible multiple-impact events, how they would've affected the world at the time, and how they continue to affect the world today. We go into the crater of one impact site deep underground to one of the most expensive scientific laboratories in the world which we use to study... outer space? (26/29)
