The Ries impact happened in Bavaria, the southern part of Germany, approximately 15 million years ago. The Ries meteorite had an incredible speed of about 72,000 km per hour, and produced an unbelievable energy eruption similar to the simultaneous explosion of some 100,000 a-bombs of the Hiroshima type. The crater was about 500 m deep.
