"Impact cratering happens on every solid body in the Solar System. In fact, it is the dominant process affecting the surfaces on most extraterrestrial bodies today.
On Earth, however, such craters are often lost over time by active geological processes, but elsewhere in the Solar System there are some truly majestic examples of impact craters preserved for all to see.
Here, we pick our highlights of what the Solar System has to offer." #space #craters #science #astronomy #SolarSystem #geology #astrogeology #exogeology #Moon #Mars #Ganymede #Ceres #Venus

Last night's full #Moon photographed from home, with elusive #MareOrientale -and its multi-ring impact basin- visible thanks to a favourable libration.
La #Luna llena de anoche, con el escurridizo Mare Orientale (y su enorme cuenca de impacto multianillada) visibles gracias a la libración favorable.

“Direct geological evidence of recent volcanic activity has been observed on the surface of Venus for the first time. Scientists made the discovery after poring over archival radar images of Venus taken more than 30 years ago, in the 1990s, by NASA’s Magellan mission. The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing significantly in size in less than a year.”

The USGS Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff, Arizona, recently released a series of Martian geological maps that could have implications for future missions to the Red Planet #astrogeology
If it were up to me my love, I’d take everything that has ever hurt you or caused you destruction and I’d erase it from your past…. It’s me.. I’d erase me from your past… 💔

Taken by me, about a week ago we had extremely clear skies, I was out until 3/4am star gazing ✨✨

Think the red planet is dead inside?
Surprise! Think again!
Unversity of Arizona researchers
@UArizonaLPL@twitter have uncovered the presence of an enormous mantle plume
pushing the surface of Mars upward and driving intense volcanic and seismic activity on present day #Mars.
