Heavily cratered surfaces on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury show that the terrestrial planets
were battered by an intense bombardment during their first billion years or more, but the …

Introduction of O2 to Earth's early biosphere stimulated remarkable evolutionary
adaptations, and a wide range of electron acceptors allowed diverse, energy‐yielding …

Landscape evolution on the Moon is dominated by impact cratering in the post‐maria
period. In this study, we mapped 800 m to 5 km diameter craters on> 30% of the lunar maria …

The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), a hypothesized impact spike at∼ 3.9 Ga, is one of the
major scientific concepts to emerge from Apollo-era lunar exploration. A significant portion of …

If properly interpreted, the impact record of the Moon, Earth's nearest neighbour, can be
used to gain insights into how the Earth has been influenced by impacting events since its …

Earth is continually impacted by very small asteroids and debris, and a larger object, though
uncommon, could produce a severe natural hazard. During impact crater formation the …

Delivery of water and organics by asteroid and comet impacts may have influenced prebiotic
chemistry on the early Earth. Some recent prebiotic chemistry experiments emphasize …

Analyzing the density of impact craters on planetary surfaces is the only known technique for
learning their ages remotely. As a result, crater statistics have been widely analyzed on the …

Abstract The Lunar Science for Landed Missions workshop was convened at the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center on 10–12 January, 2018 …

The impact crater detection offers a great scientific contribution in analyzing the geological
processes, morphologies and physical properties of the celestial bodies and plays a crucial …
