The discovery of a massive crater formed by the impact of a meteorite more than three billion years ago is changing the way scientists view the history of Earth and the planet's stages of evolution.

This impact disturbed dust over an area more than two kilometers wide, large enough to be visible in Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MARCI daily global images. The largest new crater is about 35 meters in ...

Geologists have discovered the world's oldest known impact crater; it sits in the heart of Western Australia's ancient Pilbara region. An analysis of rock layers in the region suggests a crater at ...

The study of impact crater geology and shock metamorphism offers a vital window into the extreme conditions that have shaped planetary surfaces. Impact events, whether from solitary projectiles or ...
