The National Geographic Magazine, Volume LXXVI, Number 1, July
1939, Painting III:
"Roaring in from outer space, a huge meteorite or small comet* dug
Arizona’s Meteor Crater. Red-hot on the outside from the friction of its passage through the atmosphere, the million-ton mass appeared somewhat like this as it struck the Earth at terrific speed. The constellation of Orion is shown at upper right."
* " ... or a small comet ..." => Interessant, daß 1939 noch die Möglichkeit in Betracht gezogen wurde, es könnte sich auch um einen Kometen gehandelt haben!
