This image of a well-preserved unnamed elliptical crater in Terra Sabaea, is illustrative of the complexity of ejecta deposits forming as a by-product of the impact process that shapes much of the ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A team of planetary scientists has developed a promising new way to peer beneath the dusty surface of Mars and other planetary bodies. A new study finds that ...

Earth's oldest craters could give scientists critical information about the structure of the early Earth and the composition of bodies in the solar system as well as help to interpret crater records ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered the world’s largest asteroid impact crater in New South Wales, Australia. They think the impact may have happened between 445 and 443 million years ago. It could ...
