I believe Google Earth likes (latitude,longitude). The data below has this
order transposed - try switching them around.

Rob and Listers,

When I put these coordinates in from the new estimated impact predictions
for the Lortan?meteorite?in google maps, the new impact sites are
in?Antarctica. Am I doing something wrong or is there a number off in the
coordinates that's giving me a wrong location?
