We just discovered this video from TLC' "Solar Empire." It features a wonderful two-minute clip of Eugene Shoemaker. This is the first video of him that I've seen.
He talks about "discovering" evidence of a meteor impact crater right here in northern Arizona, after looking at it for 30 years. I just wish it was longer. Flagstaff and the world certainly lost a real treasure when we lost him.
See the video at Solar Empire: Impact Craters on Earth. If you aren't familiar with Dr. Shoemaker, you can learn about him, his work and how his life was cut short at USGS About: People.
