Reply #69: Another estimate [View All]

Immediately to the right of the crater in the following photo, there is a thin line of trees on the near side of the road and there is a "notch" in the tree-line on the opposite side of the road, and the distance between those features is about the same (or slightly less than) the width of the crater:



Those features are still visible on the current Google Earth satellite image, so it's possible to estimate the distance. (I have drawn a line 115 feet long from the large tree at the apex of the tree-line notch; note that it falls slightly short of the thin line of trees):



This estimate indicates that the crater is at least 115 feet wide.

So, are we ready now to make a more reasonable estimate of the distance between the engine craters?
