Animation Depicting How New Data Has Shown That Simple Impact Craters Are Actually Cone Shaped Not Bowl Shaped As Previously Thought "If you want to learn more about the history of Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system, craters are a great place to look. Now, thanks to LRO #39;s LROC instrument, we can take a much closer look at Linn? Crater on the moon--a pristine crater that #39;s great to use to compare with other craters!"
