AI Thread Summary
An unusual double crater has been identified on Google Mars at coordinates 19°53'15.38"N 141°40'48.73"E, suggesting a meteorite impact within another crater. This phenomenon is not rare; multiple cratering is common on planetary surfaces. Analyzing such craters can provide significant insights into the geological history of Mars. The discussion emphasizes the importance of studying cratering patterns to understand planetary evolution. This double crater exemplifies the dynamic processes that shape celestial bodies.

Hi all, just looking on google Mars and have found an unusual crater, it seems to me that a meteorite has landed in another meteorites crator.

Has this really happened or is there some other way this effect could be created?

This is extremely common. One could almost say pervasive.

A lot can be determined about the history of a planet by examining frequency and paucity of mutliple cratering.
 

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
