Researchers have discovered an impact crater 900m in diameter in southern China. It hit less than 10,000 years ago, when ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a remarkably intact impact structure that is now known as the Jinlin crater.

China has quietly confirmed that a vast circular scar in its northeast is not a volcanic basin or a quirk of erosion, but a ...

Nestled on a hillside in Guangdong Province near Zhaoqing City, the Jinlin crater managed to hide in plain sight until ...

A mong the hilly forests of southern China, scientists have discovered the largest modern meteorite impact crater on Earth. Dubbed the Jinlin crater, the giant pitted scar could become an invaluable ...

At 900 meters, the giant crater in southern China is three times larger than the previous Holocene recorder holder.

A massive, well-preserved impact crater has been uncovered in Guangdong, revealing the signature of a powerful meteorite strike during the Holocene. Measuring 900 meters across, it dwarfs other known ...

Asteroids with different spins and bonding strengths may be responsible for the vast variety of impact craters on Earth, including Arizona's Barringer Crater, new simulations show. When you purchase ...

The discovery of a large putative impact crater buried beneath Hiawatha Glacier along the margin of the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet has reinvigorated interest into the nature of large impacts ...

Computer simulations have revealed that a vast region of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, may have behaved like a fluid during the formation of the Chicxulub impact crater. Gareth Collins, a ...

Most of Mars’ ancient sedimentary rocks by volume are in wind-eroded sedimentary mounds, but the connections between mound form and wind erosion are unclear. We perform mesoscale simulations of ...

Like it or not, nature is not a sharpshooter, and when it comes to rocks falling out of the sky on any given planet, it’s anybody’s guess as to where they’re going to hit. But it’s borderline ...
