Where are ANY of the impactors?

ckam,
that looks almost like a domed structure in the bottom of the crater.

well its called "marsgolf.jpg" so i think it is some martian mission experimental golf game photo.

do you think the crater in the picture is that big? I think maybe it's a golf ball on the moon dropped by some astronaut. or maybe this is made in photoshop. but THAT big...

Porbably that big if not bigger. But I would have to see where it came from.

I don't know if we should expect to see impactors (or remnants) in craters on the moon or mars - how would you identify one from an image? Wouldn't those that survive impact bury themselves or be buried by material falling into the crater? - but it seemed to me that the Apollo missions might have produced some work on objects striking the moon. Turns out they did:

Some folks at U. of Chicago looked at rock samples picked up by several missions and identified meteoritic materials in them. A quote: "The asteroid belt is an acceptable source of nearly all bodies yet characterized."

Then explain Hyperion and all the cratering there? :roll:

All most NO gravity to cause them to reach hyper velocities, , , hmmmm LOL

Bottom line…….should we expect to see some remains of the LCROSS
Impactor that NASA plans to strike the moon with.
Or will it be vaporized? Covered over by the tons of falling debris? Be submerged deep under the surface? Or strewn about in many directions from point of impact?
Granted it’s not a chunk of ice, rock, fragmented iron or any other possible meteorite type that would naturally be pulverized. “ Being that it will be of a metal of one sort or another, But it should at least allow us some frame of reference….No?
What exactly was left of the impactor that struck “ what was it “ Temple 1?
From what I can see in the before and after……there is nothing except one big crater.

On another note, considering the fact that many of the objects we call comets, meteorites, planets and moons seem to have lots of either water or are made up of frozen water ice. I would suggest that it’s safe to assume that the impactors are part of the craters they formed or have since evaporated.

, , , and of course they will fire it at the moon as they did at the comet, at hyper velocity. :roll:

Hi CC, Abr. Chains
I assure you that there nothing on earth or in heaven that I would enjoy more than…..That is besides my ex-wife being,,,,,,,,,,,never mind.
Than finding rock solid proof that some of the craters we see were created in an un-natural fashion. Left over from a galactic war long ago…..Hmmm
Possible but not probable, and I’m sadder than you would believe, to have to say that. “ Where are any of the debris “

Considering that there are so many craters, say on Iapetus for example, and then there are none on other bodies, or very few by comparison, that is very odd. That most of the craters on Iapetus seem to be geometrically shaped is also very odd. What is an even stranger thought; what if these craters are predominately, as you say, formed in an un-natural fashion with only a few being "natural". I find that thought to be NOT enjoyable myself.

And, still no impactors showing up, , hmmmmmmm :wink:

I am not sure about the validity of this image

impactor? on the moon?

http://www.boredstop.com/moonhi.htm

edit: some of these craters seem quite shallow, and although most likely ancient, no impactors? low denisty impacts at high velocities?

What's up with the use of commas in this forum? Is it some kind of international thing? I have noticed that all Brazilians laugh like "HUAHUAHUA" so I guess maybe there is some country where commas in strange ways just as Brazilians type their laughs in an amusing way.

seems like harry, craterchains and thx1139 are all using it, maybe someone else. thought there are distinctions. maybe enough distinctions to assume them to be independent accounts rather than sock puppets ;)

I think they are just using commas to create a "fill in the blank" with your own imagination as to what is being implied by the statement. A way to imply something without stating it.

Yes makc, BMAONE23 is correct, In overview, I take it that you have never had the pleasure of giving away half of everything you own.
None the less if you consider the fact that the ex may just visit this site and recognize that THX1138 is me. It might not be prudent to say

But you guys use them everywhere and you've still dodged the question of why not they are commas and not any other form of punctuation. It is obvious what they were intended to do in this case but that's not really what I want to know. Anyway, I'm going to be calling the comma protection agency. It's apparent to me you are abusing the poor little commas.
