astroavani Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Projectiles striking the lunar surface from all angles, however the majority of impact craters is circular. In the 1920s two scientists Ernst Opik in Estonia and Algernon Gifford in New Zealand realized that the very high energy cosmic impact craters produced by explosions and not carving. At the beginning of the decade of 1970s NASA scientists who did experiments with hypervelocity impact craters determined that remain circular even smaller impact angles of approximately 15 °.However craters as Joule T, King and Schiller is not yet known whether the oblique formone is due to the low impact angle or other (s) cause (s).Source: Guide to Lunar Observation-Rosely Gregio REA / Brazilhttp://www.astrobin.com/full/102040/0/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
