Dark_Grey Posted June 18, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) How much have these images been edited? That "ice" is unusually blue for simple frozen water. It looks like the contrast has been increased. The impact site looks like someone dropped a solid steel anvil from orbit. Possible an iron meteorite?

thelion318 Posted June 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2019 This is clearly the result of a class III tungsten core probe used by the Xarbutens from about 240,000 years ago while in search of rare Moscovium deposits. You can tell by then leftover center core. The class IV type left no such evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartAZ Posted June 20, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Reporters always assume that every crater is an impact crater. That is a mistake. Some craters are made by lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
