Q. Luna Crater, that was recently in news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Gujarat
Notes: Researchers from Kerala University have confirmed the remote area of Luna in Kutch, Gujarat as the site of a meteorite impact crater dating back approximately 6,900 years. This coincides with the thriving phase of the Indus Valley Civilization, whose prominent site Dholavira lies 200km away. With evidence of high-temperature minerals proving a young crater of 1.88km diameter, the meteor is estimated to be 200m wide. While past discussions assessed faunal impacts, this opens speculation on whether the meteor destabilized advanced Indus settlements, as covered sediments obscured its signature over centuries before discovery.
