Gale Crater is the name of a huge impact crater on Mars with a diameter of approximately 96 miles (154 kilometers). Scientist ...

And while craters with ice have been seen on Mars before, this one is much closer to the equator than others. The MRO also traced the source of another seismic wave, detected on September 18 last ...

A meteoroid impact formed these craters on Mars in September 2021. This image, taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, enhances the displaced dust and soil in blue to make details more visible.

Studying craters and their formation rate can help scientists pin down Mars’ geologic timeline. Impact craters also excavate material and bring it to the surface, like the ice revealed by the ...

The impact occurred at the equator of Mars in a region humanity has named Elysium Planitia; it left behind a main, 8.6-mile (13.9-km) wide and 0.62-mile (1-km) deep crater called Corinto.

A newly discovered impact crater on Mars was likely left by an enormous asteroid that slammed into the Red Planet around 3.4 billion years ago and may have triggered an 800-foot-tall "mega-tsunami." ...

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA spacecraft, captured a clear view of a relatively recent impact crater on the Red Planet. It's evidence of our still-dynamic solar system.

By studying the impact crater, the scientists found that Black Beauty was sent to Earth thanks to two asteroid impacts. The first — which slammed into Mars and formed the 25-mile-wide (40 ...

A meteoroid impact on Mars formed Martian craters, seen in blue, on September 5, 2021. NASA's InSight mission detected the impacts, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter imaged the craters.

NASA has created a flyover animation of an impact crater on Mars that was captured using the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera. Credit: NASA ...

Now, scientists know what caused the red planet to rumble. A meteoroid slammed into Mars 2,174 miles (3,500 kilometers) away from the lander and created a fresh impact crater on the Martian surface.
