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.

“The image of the impact was unlike any I had seen before, with the massive crater, the exposed ice, and the dramatic blast zone preserved in the Martian dust,” said Liliya Posiolova, who ...

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.

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.

The ESA's Mars Express probe has captured a striking image of Deuteronilus Cavus, a crater rich in insights. Located in a ...

The new images by Curiosity show "dramatic evidence" of ancient groundwater in crisscrossing low ridges, NASA said.

A European Mars probe captured a stunning view of a Martian crater that's rich in many of the features that ... Deuteronilus Cavus is believed to originally have formed following an impact roughly 4.1 ...

The researchers posit that the volcano could have supported conditions favorable for life in the once-watery Jezero crater.

NASA's Perseverance rover has summitted the top of the Martian Jezero Crater following a monthslong climb. Up next is a new phase of exploration.
