Believe it or not, Emilio Gonzalez, a Spaniard amateur began his crater search at home after reading an article about the discovery of Kebira, the biggest one found in the Sahara. After a couple of minutes he located two craters. After checking the records, he realized these were completely new, and now two geologist confirms his findings.

Nevermind finding your house on Google’s Earth…now you can help scientist find new discoveries on our planet…downside, millions of dorks living in their mom’s basement at 4am sending links to ‘crators’ that science has known about for years. Gee how much fun, wish I had that kind of free time.
