Researchers have discovered an impact crater 900m in diameter in southern China. It hit less than 10,000 years ago, when ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a remarkably intact impact structure that is now known as the Jinlin crater.

Among the hilly forests of southern China, scientists have discovered the largest modern meteorite impact crater on Earth.

At 900 meters, the giant crater in southern China is three times larger than the previous Holocene recorder holder.

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 ...

Scientists have found the oldest impact crater on Earth – and it changes our understanding of our planet and the origins of life. The meteorite that left the crater fell to Earth 3.5 billion years ago ...

A rocky stretch in Western Australia's Pilbara, near Earth's earliest-confirmed lifeforms, was hit by a meteorite about 3.5 billion years ago. Reading time 2 minutes Scientists in Australia say ...

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 ...

This Dawn FC (framing camera) image shows two overlapping impact craters. The large crater is roughly 20 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter and the smaller crater is roughly 6 kilometers (4 miles) in ...
