Kingsley Lake is located Southwest of Jacksonville, FL and directly East of Starke, FL, on the grounds of Camp Blanding. If you look at it on Google Maps, you will notice that it is pretty much perfectly round. You would think that this was a meteor impact, but in fact it is just ...
Asteroids provide fundamental clues to the formation and evolution of planetesimals. Collisional models based on the depletion of the primordial main belt of asteroids predict 10–15 craters >400 km should have formed on Ceres, the largest object between Mars and Jupiter, over the last 4.55 ...
Show Google Maps The trailhead of the Nishiyama Crater Walking Trail is located a five minute car or bus ride from Toyako Onsen. From Toyako Station, take a bus bound for Toyako Onsen (洞爺湖温泉) and get off at Nishiyama Yuhodo (西山遊歩道, 290 yen one way, about 15 minutes, one bu...
When I overlaid a map fromMontgomery 1996on the Google Maps image and it sure looked like the Marquez crater sat right over the heart of the Cotton Valley Lime pinnacle reef play. The 1 and 2 Poth wells were two of Marathon’s first wells in the play. Cotton Valley Lime pinnacle reef...
The only martian rock samples on Earth are meteorites ejected from the surface of Mars by asteroid impacts. The locations and geological contexts of the launch sites are currently unknown. Determining the impact locations is essential to unravel the rela
Colorful new maps of the dwarf planet Ceres reveal its dramatic mountains and deep craters, now with official new names. The new Ceres maps were created using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, which has been orbiting the dwarf planet since March. While some locations on Ceres once carried ...

An algorithm to deal with the delineation of impact craters in very high resolution images from the surface on Mars is introduced in this paper. This approach is built on two main steps, first on the coarse estimation of the crater rim, second on its detailed extraction. It works on images...
Large impacts are one of the most important processes shaping a planet’s surface. On Mars, the early formation of the Martian crust and the lack of large impact basins (only four unambiguously identified: Hellas, Argyre, Utopia, and Isidis) indicates th
