Google Analytics runs automatically to help us understand which public Wonders and explorer tools are useful, unless you turn it off or your browser requests no tracking. Google receives a browser identifier, sanitized page locations and allowlisted interaction events. Google may also receive network information such as your IP address when your browser contacts its service.

For signed-in members with analytics enabled, CodexMira associates that browser identifier with verified purchase, credit and billing outcomes so renewals and automatic top-ups can be measured without an open browser. Card details, email addresses, chat questions and answers, personal saved labels, and raw error messages are not included in these analytics events. Advertising features are disabled.

You can turn analytics off here. Turning it off stops new Google tracking, clears Google Analytics cookies on this site and asks the server to revoke the member analytics association. Already-collected reports cannot be removed by clearing browser cookies. Necessary sign-in, payment and operational records remain separate from analytics.

Replit manages its own published-site hosting tracker; this choice also controls the custom events CodexMira sends to that tracker, but does not change Replit's platform publishing settings.

Lonar Crater

Natural Landscape

Description

Lonar Crater is a natural landscape in India, Asia. NASA Earth Observatory — Lonar Crater, India (2008) gives its chronology as “Lonar is a naturally formed geological impact structure. No numerical formation date is assigned here: the cited NASA article is from 2008, and its historical age estimate is not treated as an established current consensus.”

Lonar Crater in Maharashtra, India, is a lake-bearing impact crater excavated into the volcanic basalt of the Deccan Plateau. Its setting initially encouraged a volcanic explanation, but shock evidence supports a meteorite impact origin. NASA describes maskelynite, a glass produced by intense impact shock, among the evidence distinguishing the crater from an ordinary volcanic depression. The approximately 1.8-kilometre-wide basin provides a comparison with impacts into basaltic planetary surfaces. This entry does not adopt the older age estimate in NASA’s 2008 article as a settled modern date.
