Study on the Degradation Pattern of Impact Crater Populations in Yutu-2′s Rovering Area
Remote SensingA detailed analysis of the panoramic camera data from the 27th to 33rd lunar days was conducted on the high-resolution scenes captured by the Yutu-2 rover stations. This analysis aimed to determine the detailed morphological parameters of the 2015 impact

Microbial Life in Impact Craters [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2020 Asteroid and comet impacts are known to have caused profound disruption to multicellular life, yet their influence on habitats for microorganisms, which comprise the majority of Earth's biomass, is less well understood. Of particular interest are geological changes in the target lithology at and near the point of impact that can persist for billions of

AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND RECOGNITION OF CRATERS BASED ON THE SPECTRAL FEATURES OF LUNAR ROCKS AND MINERALS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017 Crater-detection approaches can be divided into four categories: manual recognition, shape-profile fitting algorithms, machine-learning methods and geological information-based analysis using terrain and spectral data.

A NEW GLOBAL CATALOGUE OF LUNAR CRATERS (≥1 KM) WITH 3D INFORMATION AND PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF GLOBAL ANALYSIS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020 Impact craters are the predominant geomorphological features on the lunar surface. They can be studied to infer the ages of the lunar surfaces, the generation processes of the geological units, and the sequences of its geological events.

Polygonal impact craters on Ganymede
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2023 AbstractPolygonal impact craters (PICs) are unique geological features observed on various planetary bodies and constitute a small percentage of the impact crater population. This study focuses on PICs on Ganymede, where no such craters have been investigated so far. Here we present the distribution of PICs, examine their morphological characteristics,

Comet and Meteorite Traditions of Aboriginal Australians
, 2014 Of the hundreds of distinct Aboriginal cultures of Australia, many have oral traditions rich in descriptions and explanations of comets, meteors, meteorites, airbursts, impact events, and impact craters. These views generally attribute these phenomena to
