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 ...

The Yarrabubba impact structure in remote Western Australia is the oldest ... The integrated solution enables parallel high-resolution analysis of hundreds to thousands of individual cells, addressing ...

Just after MESSENGER's closest approach to Mercury (200 km above the surface), high-resolution color images ... At the center, a crater 68 km in diameter exposes the stratigraphy of the region.

Scientists have concluded that the impact that created this crater occurred 65 million years ... a distinctive pattern of fracturing caused by high-energy impacts or explosions.

Previous research already determined that life returned to the site of the crater within ... associated with high-nutrient environments. When the osmium returned to pre-impact levels, the plankton ...

The research was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Impact craters are everywhere in the solar system, pocking the surfaces of all planets and moons with solid surfaces.
