What the scars of cosmic collisions reveal about our solar system
Witness Earth's most striking impact craters as captured by ESA satellites. This visual countdown explores the geological signatures left behind by meteorites and what they teach us about planetary evolution.
Impact craters are an inevitable feature of rocky planets, appearing on every planetary body across our solar system regardless of size. By examining these terrestrial scars alongside the meteorites responsible for them, scientists can uncover the fundamental geological processes and mechanics that continue to shape our entire solar system.
