The EID lists fewer than ten such craters, and the largest in the last 100,000 years (100 ka) is the 4.5 km (2.8 mi) Rio Cuarto crater in Argentina. [2] However, there is some uncertainty regarding its origins [ 3 ] and age, with some sources giving it as < 10 ka [ 2 ] [ 4 ] while the EID gives a broader < 100 ka.
The Vredefort impact structure is the largest verified impact structure on Earth. [1] The crater, which has since been eroded away, has been estimated at 170–300 kilometres (110–190 mi) across when it was formed.
Stunning drone footage has revealed details of the Batagaika crater, a one kilometre long gash in Russia's Far East that forms the world's biggest permafrost crater. In the video two explorers ...
The Batagaika crater (russian: Батагайский кратер) is a thermokarst depression in the Chersky Range area. [1] The largest permafrost crater in the world, [ 2 ] it administratively belongs to the Sakha Republic , Russia , [ 1 ] and is in its Verkhoyansky District .
Mosaic of the Shackleton Crater created by LROC (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) and ShadowCam. The rotational axis of the Moon passes through Shackleton, near the rim. The crater is 21 km (13 miles) in diameter and 4.2 km (2.6 miles) deep. [2] From the Earth, it is viewed edge-on in a region of rough, cratered terrain.
Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) Moon Below 30 MHz The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) is a proposal by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts to create an ultra-long-wavelength (hereby wavelengths greater than 10 m – i.e., frequencies below 30 MHz) radio telescope inside a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon.
Scientists believe they’ve discovered what time and erosion have concealed.
The largest crater observed on Triton thought to have been created by an impact is a 27-kilometer-diameter (17 mi) feature called Mazomba. [78] [79] Although larger craters have been observed, they are generally thought to be volcanic. [78]
