A Crater
Craters are the most common surface features on many solid planets and moons—Mercury and our Moon are covered with craters.
Craters are roughly circular, excavated holes made by impact events. The circular shape is due to material flying out in all directions as a result of the explosion upon impact, not a result of the impactor having a circular shape (almost no impactors are spherical)
