Big rock slams into Mars, gouges crater, reveals subsurface features
Briefly

Mars has a lot of craters.Now it has two new ones - gouged by rocks that slammed into the planet late last year.Mars will be fine.This is not a natural disaster.Nor an omen that Earth is newly imperiled by asteroids.The solar system is full of debris.Mars has a feeble atmosphere, and when a meteoroid comes flying in from space, it's unlikely to burn up before smacking into the surface.
