Radar images of Venus' surface, obtained from the Venera 15 and 16 spacecraft and from the Earth, show many impact craters that are radar bright compared with their surroundings. It is demonstrated in this report that this phenomenon cannot be caused by higher surface roughness of meteorite impact a

Asteroids or comets striking a planetary surface at very shallow angles produce elliptical-shaped craters. According to laboratory impact experiments (D. E. Gault and J. A. Wedekind 1978, Proc. Lunar Planet. Sci. Conf. 9th, 3843-3875), elliptical craters result from impact angles within ∼5 • of hori

Inferred wind-related modifications of impact craters are observed in the vicinity of the Mars Pathfinder (MPF) site and in other regions of Mars. Mars Obiter Camera (MOC) images show three types of inferred wind-modified morphologies for craters 0.3-1 km in diameter. Such modifications could be rel
