This possible discovery is important for many reasons. None less for the reason of protection here on Earth (if applicable to Earth). This could dramatically expand our understanding of impact events and possible downrange effects- crucial for impact defense. @AsteroidDay

I'm familiar. Which image(s) are you referring to exactly? To say material flows down walls of craters is different from explaining a 30+ mile avalanche spanning across the rugged terrain of a large impact crater. Wouldn't you say? We have analogs on Mars. How's it not similar?

I'm not sure if you studied the fourth image, but you might have missed just how massive this avalanche is. I don't think material being pulled by gravity has the energy to make this kind of avalanche. I think there are many other reasons to think it was impact-triggered as well.

So, let me get this straight: my explanation (the same as here) on Mars is a "viable contender" to
@NASAAmes, however,@NASAJPL seems to think it isn't when applied to Ceres? I still can't get any response from@NASA_Dawn. I don't know why this is so difficult.Dziękujemy. Twitter skorzysta z tych informacji, aby Twoja oś czasu bardziej Ci odpowiadała. CofnijCofnij
