Artist's impression of early Mars bombarded by an asteroid larger than Texas. The scientists believe that the impact caused the Martian crust to melt in the northern hemisphere, sending fragments into space and sending shock waves through the planet's molten core. This explains why the Martian crust is thinner in the northern hemisphere. Photo: Jeff Anders-Hannah and Francis Nimmo.
