Washington: An international team of researchers with NASA's InSight mission located four new craters created by impacts on the arssurface of M. Using data from a seismometer and visuals acquired from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the team successfully calculated and confirmed the impact locations.
Researchers have now captured the dynamics of an impact on Mars.
"Meteoroids and other projectiles in space can change the atmosphere and surface of any planet through impact," said University of Maryland Geology Associate Professor Nicholas Schmerr, a co-author of the paper.
