Few, if any, big impact craters remain to be discovered on...

The deep origin of craters and mounds was discovered using cutting edge 3D seismic technology which can penetrate deep into the ocean floor, and help scientists visualize the structures in the hard bedrock underneath. Illustration: M. Waage

New study reveals cracks beneath giant, methane gushing craters

Zircon Crystals of the mineral zircon are tiny time-capsules that record the age of many events in Earth’s history. Dating zircon crystals like this was one of the two methods used to calculate the age of the Hiawatha impact crater. Illustration: Gavin Kenny, Swedish Museum of Natural History.
