A 5-12 meter meteorite created a 150-meter-wide crater in Mars's Amazonis Planitia region, one of the largest impacts observed since NASA began Mars exploration. The impact exposed subsurface ice deposits closer to Mars's equator than ever before, a critical discovery for future human colonization plans requiring water and rocket fuel.
