All the Cornell Astro domain seems down.

This site is one of those brilliant ideas that's blindingly obvious in retrospect...

And indeed, a meteorite IS ejecta, albeit from another body in the solar system . . . Does a meteorite have to be from another body? What about ejecta that go into solar orbit for a while before returning to impact their planet of origin? (Just a semantic query.) |

Hmmm... looking at Marquette and its surrounding rubble, I'm reminded of this scene from the edge of Victoria...
I think this stop will prove very interesting... -------------------- |

Is it possible to look up whether HiRISE or MOC imaged this region before? Can Fresh Crater be dated? |

Can Fresh Crater be dated? You'll have to talk to her father first. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

I wonder if Opportunity could topple this rock. It would be interesting to look underneath.

Just an ejecta, like those cobbles we've seen at Victoria. No more interest for me.

A huge great chunk of rock, that's clearly fallen out of the sky, scattering debris all around it... a slab of stone that looks like nothing else for literally miles around, sitting in the middle of the desert like a piece of martian modern art... a fat plate of dark ejecta that came from - where? When? Naah, nothing of interest at all... Really nice colour anaglyph Ant, by the way -------------------- |

I'm not sure about precise numbers, but I'd guess that "fresh crater" is a lot older than our presence in orbit. It's "fresh" in geological terms.Thanks all for the stunning pans/anaglyphs of Marquette! |
