A 2019 study found what may have been ground zero for the younger megatsunami — Lomonosov Crater, a 75-mile-wide (120 km) hole in the ground in the icy plains of the Martian Arctic.
Now the new study finds what may be the origin point of the older megatsunami — 69-mile-wide (111 km) Pohl Crater, which the International Astronomical Union named after science-fiction grandmaster Frederik Pohl in August.
Asteroid Impact Likely to Have Caused Mars Mega-tsunami
A major asteroid impact similar to the Chicxulub collision in a shallow ocean region is most likely to have led to a Mars mega-tsunami.
The Chicxulub impact contributed to untold devastation and mass extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs on Earth sixty-six million years ago.
Two Minerals Never Seen Before in Nature Discovered In an Asteroid That Fell to Earth : ScienceAlert
An analysis of a huge chunk of space rock that fell to Earth in Somalia has revealed materials never before seen in nature.
Two new minerals have been analyzed and named, and a possible third is currently under consideration by the International Mineralogical Association.
Astronomers predicted an asteroid impact 3.5 hours in advance | SYFY WIRE
Ever since we found out what an asteroid did to the dinosaurs , we've been worried that there might be an object out there with our names written on it.
We need only look so far as the recent DART mission to learn that humanity means business when it comes to not being smooshed by a giant space rock.
Formation of asteroids unveiled by new study
Two years ago, an impact experiment was conducted on the asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft, which resulted in an unexpectedly large crater. Samples were collected from this mission, which aimed to study the history of the asteroid, and were returned to Earth for laboratory analysis.
Stemming from this mission, Dr Martin Jutzi and Dr Sabina Raducan, both from the Physical Institute of the University of Bern, Department for Space Research and Planetology (WP), used simulations to gain new insights from the experiment regarding the formation of asteroids.

The Asteroid Belt has an estimated size of 140-million miles (225-million kilometres) across. That's about 1.5 times larger than the distance between the Earth and sun . The Asteroid Belt is located anywhere from 300 to 390-million miles (480 to 628-million kilometres) away from the Earth.

(Gray News) - A team of researchers discovered minerals they say have never been seen before on Earth.
According to the University of Alberta , the team found at least two such minerals in a 15-tonne meteorite, the ninth largest meteorite ever found, in Somalia.
