Scientists have long sought to determine the rate of meteoroid impacts on Mars, employing two primary methods before the availability of seismic data. One approach involved calculating the impact rate from lunar crater chronology models, which are based on studies of craters on the Moon and adjusted to account for Mars’ atmosphere and proximity to […]
