"Scientists Attribute Two Billion Mars Craters to Single Asteroid Impact"
Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab have discovered that a single asteroid impact on Mars created not just one, but billions of subsequent craters, with the main 2.3 million-year-old Corinto crater triggering between 1.3 and 3 billion secondary craters. This finding sheds light on the complex geological processes on Mars and could aid in understanding how its landscapes and composition have evolved over time, particularly as humans plan to send astronauts there. Additionally, recent meteorite impacts on Mars, including one detected by NASA's InSight lander, have led to intriguing discoveries, such as the detection of a massive marsquake and the revelation of underground ice.
