breathtaking detail. Thanks for posting the link.

What's also visible in full detail: the centre of the crater is not a mountain like in many others. And the rim and debris dispersion around it are not perfectly round like many other craters' surroundings - but shows that the object impacted at an angle.

So this looks like what I would expect an impact crater to look like. A visible impact angle and no mountain in the middle.

I don't understand the scientific assumption that the centre mountains visible in many other craters got created by some form trampoline-effect: when the debris at the bottom jumps up again and then collects in a uniform centre mountain.

Equally I don't understand why craters look a perfectly round shape without a trace of angled impact in the rim nor in the surrounding area where the fallout debris came down. That rim and debris pattern should look like this: < and not like this: o

What do you guys think?
