Lunar Crater Discoveries
Craters are fascinating celestial phenomena, serving as the cosmic scars of planets and moons. These bowl-shaped indentations, often vast, are primarily formed from meteorite impacts or celestial explosions. One notable discovery was made on Mars, revealing the dynamic history and geological activity beyond Earth.
The Korolev crater represents a stunning Martian feature unveiled by the European Space Agency’s Mars Express High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). Spanning 82 km, this exceptional crater is not just any depression but a remarkable ice-filled basin, showcasing Mars’ capability to surprise with its icy reserves.
