Well, isn't that just a happy little discovery! Scientists noticed changes in the moon's surface about two or three weeks after the asteroid made its grand entrance. Just like painting a masterpiece, sometimes we have to step back and observe to see all the beautiful magic unfold.
Craters occur when a celestial body, like a meteoroid or asteroid, collides with the surface of a planet or moon at a high velocity. The impact creates an indentation in the surface, which we observe as a crater. Craters can be found on many celestial bodies in our solar system, including the Moon, Mars, and Mercury.
They're called craters.

The surface temperature of a star can be determined by analyzing its spectrum. Specifically, scientists can observe the peak wavelength of light emitted by the star and use Wien's Law, which relates the peak wavelength to the temperature of the emitting object. By measuring the peak wavelength, astronomers can calculate the surface temperature of the star.
The holes in the surface of the moon caused by asteroid impacts are known as craters. When asteroids or meteoroids collide with the moon's surface, they create these depressions, which vary in size and depth depending on the impact's energy. The moon's lack of atmosphere allows these craters to remain well-preserved over time, offering valuable insights into its geological history.
Since the surface of the Earth is exactly where scientists (and the rest of us) live, scientists have had excellent opportunities to observe it, and they know stupendously vast numbers of things about it. I wouldn't even attempt to summarize such an enormous body of knowledge.
Mars is too cold for liquid water to flow on the planet surface
Condensation occurs on the outer surface of the glass when you keep ice cubes in the glass at room temperature or hotter.
One cannot hear sound on an asteroid since it has no atmosphere, but sound can travel though an asteroid's surface.
Yes. Mercury's surface is covered in craters, indicating numerous asteroid impacts.
No, an asteroid cannot physically pass through the Earth due to its solid structure. If an asteroid were to collide with the Earth, it would impact the surface, causing significant damage depending on its size and speed.
Scientists can observe all of the moon, if they send an artificial satellite round the far side. For the rest of us, we can only see one side as the rotation period of the moon is the same as the time taken to circle the Earth; so it always shows the same side to us. There is a slight wobble though and we can see slightly more than half of the moons' surface.
Geomorphologists study the surface of the earth. They conduct scientific studies of landforms and their shapes to understand landform history and to be able to make predictions about changes through the use of various scientific methods, such as numerical modeling, field observations and experimentation .
No. The asteroid belt is not an object. It is a region of the solar system where there are more asteroids than in other areas.
Meteor or asteroid
An asteroid's brightness may change as it rotates because different surface features reflect varying amounts of sunlight towards Earth. As the asteroid rotates, different surface areas are illuminated, causing the brightness to fluctuate in a repeating pattern. This variation in brightness can provide valuable information about the asteroid's shape, surface composition, and rotation period.
