A Round Asteroid with a Dominant Crater
This object displays a small, rounded asteroid drifting through space. The celestial body is marked by one massive impact crater that dominates its face, surrounded by expansive, smooth open plains extending across the rest of its surface.
The Dynamics of Asteroid Craters
Impact craters on small space rocks are created when smaller debris collides with them at incredible speeds of thousands of miles per hour. Because small asteroids have very weak gravitational forces, much of the debris thrown up by an impact escapes into space instead of settling back down. Over billions of years, a single major collision can reshape an entire small world without destroying it.
