CQ Science – Post 4: Impact Craters Change Over Time
Impact craters go through an aging process. They start out new and pristine, but they gradually degrade. This is because impact events are happening all the time, and the craters they create are eventually bashed up by other impact events. The very smallest impacts -...

CQ Science – Post 3: Impact Craters from Tiny to Huge
Impact craters come in all sizes, because impactors come in all sizes. At the smallest size are microscopic particles of dust. They may be tiny, but as noted in the last post, they are traveling very fast, and so they impact with plenty of energy. On a world like the...

CQ Science – Post 2: Impact Energetics
It turns out that “rocks running into other rocks” is a pretty complicated process. The most important aspect of the process is how much energy is involved. The two factors in finding the energy of an impact are (1) how much mass is in the impactor, and (2) how fast...
