Scientists Confirm Ancient Asteroid Impact Created North Sea’s Silverpit Crater 43 Million Years Ago
New research confirms the Silverpit Crater in the North Sea was formed by an asteroid impact around 43 million years ago. Using seismic imaging and rare mineral evidence, scientists proved the impact origin beyond doubt, resolving a debate that lasted two decades and placing the crater among Earth’s rare, well-preserved impact structures.

Climate Change Sent Sub-Surface Tremors, Caused Landslide For 9 Days: Study
In September 2023, a 1.2 kilometre-high mountain peak in an East Greenland fjord - a narrow inlet of sea between two steep cliffs - collapsed, causing a tsunami about 200 metres tall.

NASA Spacecrafts at Mars Record Biggest Meteor Strikes, Impact Craters Yet
Two NASA spacecraft at Mars — one on the surface and the other in orbit — have recorded the biggest meteor strikes and impact craters yet. The larger of the two strikes churned out boulder-size slabs of ice, which may help researchers look for ways future astronauts can tap into Mars’ natural resources.
