If this is really an impact structure, it would be Venus' oldest and largest, giving us a rare glimpse into Venus' past and ...

The discovery of what seems to be a second impact crater on the other side of the Atlantic, of a very similar age, is raising these questions. It's not as big as the one we know at Chicxulub in ...

Cassini SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images of Titan's impact craters. Arrows indicate potential forms of crater modification processes, including: dunes and sands (purple), channels (blue), and ...

The data revealed a depression over 8.5km wide, which Dr Nicholson suspected could be an asteroid impact crater. He worked ...

Further study, together with the magnetic and gravity data, confirmed the site as an impact event, named for the nearby Chicxulub Pueblo. After this unusually large impact crater was confirmed, it ...

Rocks were flying everywhere, willy-nilly, smacking into the newly formed planets, pocking them with craters and gouging out impact basins. Mercury, Mars, and the Moon are all heavily scarred. Even ...

The impact left a 124-mile-wide crater underneath the Gulf of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. And, until now, it had been assumed that the asteroid acted alone. This week, scientists at Scotland ...

What looks to be a large impact crater has been identified beneath the Greenland ice sheet. The 31km-wide depression came to light when scientists examined radar images of the island's bedrock.

Its capabilities allowed the researchers to see the LCROSS crater directly and confirm that changes to radar-based reflectivity seen by LRO after the impact corresponded to a new crater.
