celestial impact

A celestial impact occurs when a space object, such as a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet, collides with a planet or moon. These impacts happen when objects traveling through space cross the body's path and strike its surface, releasing energy that can create craters, cause explosions, or even influence the planet's environment over time. Such events have shaped planetary surfaces and influenced climate and biological evolution on Earth and other celestial bodies. While large impacts are rare, they remind us of the dynamic and interconnected nature of our solar system.
