Space probes have witnessed a big impact crater being formed on Mars - the largest in the Solar System ever caught in the act of excavation. A van-sized object dug out a 150m-wide bowl on the Red ...

When the discovery was announced in May, the team said a meteoroid the size ... snapped new photos of the crater in July as the spacecraft flew over the impact site, which is in a large plain ...

Using artificial intelligence, scientists have discovered a crater from a meteoroid that they say shook ... data collected by the lander with impact craters spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance ...

Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.

Cores extracted from the impact crater revealed evidence of an ancient, life-nurturing hydrothermal system in the wake of the ...

Meteoroid impacts create seismic waves that ... Satellite images help to constrain the formation time of impact craters and ...

Why it's incredible: Evidence suggests it could be the greatest known impact crater on Earth. The Wilkes Land crater is a hole in the bedrock beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet measuring 315 ...

Impact craters on Earth, the moon and other planetary ... Every 2,000 years or so, a meteoroid the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage to the area.

As if we did not already have enough to worry about, astronomers recently discovered an asteroid that may hit the Earth. Based on observations of its orbit, Asteroid 2024 YR4 ...

When an asteroid or meteoroid enters the atmosphere and streaks through the sky, it then becomes known as a meteor. Anything that survives the impact is a meteorite. Where do meteorites come from?

In particular, the spacecraft registered the moment of a meteoroid impact. "The PmL [Lunar dust ... The image shows the Zeeman Crater, the third-deepest crater on Moon’s southern hemisphere.

He calculates how much energy would be transferred at impact using the formula E = ½mv² and produces an equivalent explosion to show the size of crater produced by a meteoroid the size of a golf ...
