A team of scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in California have found that a single meteorite was likely responsible for creating not just one, but billions of subsequent craters on the Martian surface.
In addition to the main 2.3 million-year-old crater called Corinto, which spans over 8.6 miles across, the collision created several billion secondary craters by sending up a huge plume of rocks after it hit the surface,By analyzing satellite images, JPL's Matthew Golombek and colleagues estimated the number of craters triggered by the blast and concluded that Corinto had anywhere between 1.
"Quantifying the number of secondaries is important to better understand how a relatively small crater could possibly eject that much material during the cratering process," Golombek told— the planet's equivalent of an earthquake — which turned out to be the result of one of the biggest observed meteors to have struck Mars, some 2,000 miles away from the lander.
