Locate and learn about impact craters and deposits around the world. Go to Map! Courses A variety of tailor-made courses are available, from half-day workshops and seminars all the way to a week-long short course and field school that takes place every 2 years at one of the largest impac...
Here on Earth, flying space debris triggered mass extinctions, but the same deadly asteroids might also have delivered the seeds of life soon after Earth was born. The effects of asteroid impacts linger for billions of years. Here are the 10 biggest impact craters known, from largest to ...
So what does it take for an asteroid to make a dent on Earth, and which known impact events have left the biggest craters? Most space rocks that barrel into Earth's atmosphere aren't giant at all. They're very small — around 3 feet (1 meter) across, according to NASA. That's ...
a research team led by the University of Göttingen has now discovered a volcanic ash layer in the asteroid crater. In addition, the team was able to show that the ground under the crater is sinking in the long term, which provides important insights for the exploration of craters on Mars...

Earth’s oldest craters have the potential to provide scientists with vital information regarding the structure of the early Earth and the composition of bodies in the solar system, as well as offer insight into interpreting crater records on other planets. However, these ancient craters remain elus...
Although similar styles of modification occur on the moon, martian floor-fractured craters display a greater diversity in morphology. Such craters are closely associated with major regional features and provinces, such as the Vallis Marineris system, the fretted terrains, and the martian plains. The ...
