At 900 meters, the giant crater in southern China is three times larger than the previous Holocene recorder holder.

A team of researchers has uncovered a remarkably intact impact structure that is now known as the Jinlin crater.

Nestled on a hillside in Guangdong Province near Zhaoqing City, the Jinlin crater managed to hide in plain sight until ...

The Jinlin crater, measuring 900 meters across, formed during Earth’s current geological epoch. A recently identified and exceptionally well-preserved impact crater is offering scientists new insight ...

Scientists have found the oldest impact crater on Earth – and it changes our understanding of our planet and the origins of life. The meteorite that left the crater fell to Earth 3.5 billion years ago ...

Computer simulations have revealed that a vast region of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, may have behaved like a fluid during the formation of the Chicxulub impact crater. Gareth Collins, a ...

This impact disturbed dust over an area more than two kilometers wide, large enough to be visible in Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MARCI daily global images. The largest new crater is about 35 meters in ...

A massive, well-preserved impact crater has been uncovered in Guangdong, revealing the signature of a powerful meteorite ...
