On the day of America's most-watched sporting event, NASA has posted 10 impressively super, bowl-shaped venues adorning worlds in our solar system.
On the day of America’s most-watched sporting event, NASA has dabbled in a spot of wordplay and posted a feature highlighting “10 impressively super, bowl-shaped venues adorning worlds in our solar system.”It’s about 6 miles in diameter and even has a smaller crater inside it.
Located between Mars and Jupiter, the tiny dwarf planet of Ceres is home to Occator Crater, an impact site 57 miles across and 2.5 miles deep. The crater is the brightest spot on Ceres, a feature the result of its highly reflective salt deposits. Rather less bowl-like than some of the craters we see here, Jezero is 28 miles wide and exists within Mars’ Isidis Planitia region, the site of an ancient meteorite impact that left behind a large crater some 750 miles across. A subsequent, smaller meteorite strike within the Isidis impact basin led to the creation of the Jezero Crater.
