Crater analysis

Crater analysis refers to the study of impact craters, which are depressions on surfaces like the Moon or Mars created by collisions with meteoroids, asteroids, or comets. By examining the size, shape, and distribution of these craters, scientists can gather information about the age of the surface, the frequency of impacts, and the geological history of the celestial body. It helps researchers understand the dynamics of our solar system, the processes that shape planetary surfaces, and even the potential hazards posed by near-Earth objects.
