Thanks for the ping!

True, an impact event does vaporize the immediate area and it will form spherical rocks as the plasma cools.
The velocity of a meteorite is note like a lead bullet. It does not simply push the soil out of it's way.

What goes up, must come down.
Also, the rock under the impact has melted and will become fluid like a volcano.
There are a few billion examples of this on the Moon.
Think about it....

No matter how much I look at the NASA website, Freepers always post those images from Mars first. Someone must be tapping in to the VERY raw feed with the ol' 1985 vintage satellite dish out back... :-)

Check out TYCO on the Moon.
Take a very close look at the mountain in the center of the crater, and the ejecta that was thrown half way around the Moon.
Actually, only the very smallest of craters will not have a central mountain at it's center.

This is a strip left/right that may give you grief, but I still need stereoscope and this is the arrangement that works best for me and those with scopes . . . sorry, Jenny!

Even if "inverted" for us crossed-eyed Mars lovers, that image is outstanding.
It still reminds me of the wind carved arches in Utah and for the same physical reasons.
But wow, can you imagine how fragile that formation must be?

Notice the "walking stick" at the bottom of my strip. In stereo it appears to be suspended. If this thing moves I'll join up with the rest of the kooks on this forum!!! YIKES!

I assume you are talking about the inverted Y rock formation at the 6:00 position.
Giggle, if it moves, I will be right behind you. LOL

When you can show us a video of a recent impact crater happening, let us know.
Until then, listen to the adults.
