Maybe Shiela Jackson Lee was right...Maybe those technicians at JPL should have had the “rover” track over to where the astronauts planted the American flag a few years ago...

“The most likely explanation is that it’s an impact crater”
Well, duh! These piled higher and dryer scientists need to engage that thing between their ears. What else would the “crater” be?

You can see ejecta trails along the sides. The meteor must have struck from top to bottom at a low angle...

Maybe it was a giant Monolith, Space Odyssey 2001 style!

Right! A glancing blow. Mars was just “winged” by a meteoric rifle shot.

Dumb headline. They’re not baffled.

Looks to me like it was a string of meteorites, or a broken comet. Multiple impacts, one after another.

Heck of a glancing blow. As the crater is 240 miles long, the meteor must have been a monster.

Mars is a scary little example of what can happen here.

It's a grazing impact crater. This is undoubtedly not confusing to planetary scientists but makes good copy for a reporter to write about

It's a grazing impact crater. This is undoubtedly not confusing to planetary scientists but makes good copy for a reporter to write about Somewhere in a NASA lab, in parts unknown, a group of planetary scientists are laughing their butts off at the line of BS this 'journOlista' swallowed.

Obviously, further government funding is needed to resolve this mystery.
I'm sure all they would need to do is go the National Endowment for Baffled Scientists and Perverted Artists and a billion dollar check would be cut in minutes.

Uh....a volcanic crater. Not to be rude but, you might want to take your own advice.
