Some of the largest craters on Mars remain unnamed. Diameters differ depending on source data. The largest confirmed impact basins on Mars are Utopia (buried, estimated diameter 3,300 km) Hellas (2,300 km), Argyre ( 1,800 km) and Isidis (1,500 km).

There are hundreds of thousands of impact craters on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here contains only named Martian craters starting with the letter O – Z (see also lists for A – G and H – N).

3 天之前 · Researchers have in the past taken images of new impact craters and found seismic data that matches the date and location of the craters’ formation. But the two new studies represent the first time a fresh impact has been correlated with shaking detected in Cerberus Fossae, an especially quake-prone region of Mars that is 1,019 miles (1,640 kilometers) from …

The following is a list of detected impact events with a crater size of >15 meters, which excludes most meteoroid impacts (<1 meter asteroids). 10-15 meter craters discovered before 2010 are also included, before the rate of discovering such craters became dozens per year.

2020年7月22日 · While only about 120 impact craters have been identified on Earth, scientists estimate that on the surface of Mars, there are more than 43,000 impact craters with diameters greater than 5 kilometers (3 miles), and probably over a quarter of a million impact craters that are similar in size to Meteor Crater.

2021年3月6日 · A 10.26 km-wide impact crater on Mars near the Cerberus Fossae in Elysium quadrangle. It is named after the Guatemalan town of Zunil. The crater is still in good condition considered it was formed by an impact that happened just a few millions years ago.

We’re embarking on a virtual expedition to Mars, home to some of the most gigantic and awe-inspiring craters in the entire solar system. These colossal impact scars tell tales of cosmic collisions, ancient water bodies, and possibly even the conditions for life as we know it.

2022年11月18日 · Now our new study of the largest recent impact craters on Mars, published in Science, sheds new light on the red planet’s interior.

2024年3月26日 · An object that slammed into Mars roughly 2.3 million years ago created 2 billion smaller craters around the main Corinto impact crater, near the Red Planet's equator.

2024年8月23日 · Astronomers have traced the origins of 200 meteorites to five impact craters in two volcanic regions on Mars, known as Tharsis and Elysium.
