Why are most viewable craters in the solar system perfect 90 degree impacts?

NASA isn't very smart.

I had that thought before. They seem more like leftovers from giant bubbles.
Most impressions on the moon are shallow, circular and simply do NOT look like impacts.
Good question.

gravity sucks?

I thought so as well... It just would make more sense most craters would be at the 30ish degree mark. coming in at an angle.

Nope, majority are direct hits. Very weird.

Somebody else is on our moon - classic book

Maybe these craters come from an electric charge.A large percent of craters have a filiment directly in the center.

electric universe

craters are made by plasma discharges

hmmmm very interesting thought. Reminds me of one of those old plasma-electric globes.

Most impacts occur at high velocities where the impactor is vaporized instantly upon impact; the angle of impact doesn't much matter for the overall shape of the crater unless it's extremely shallow. The energy of the explosion radiates out equally in all directions and creates a circular crater.

hey bud. Thanks for the clarification.

I do find the plasma discharge theory stated earlier interesting none the less. You think that's just hogwash?

More importantly - same side of moon always faces earth !!!

Great if u wanna watch earthlings make a mess in the sandpit

It is really sad that you flat earth folks are so dense.

He presents you with a valid theory on what OP enquired.

Check out the oval craters/ponds in eastern North and South Carolina.

This is one of the creation stories that spears Darwinist Stooges.

When the worlds were created there was a tremendous amount of heat generated.

The surfaces were a form of elastic, boiling, mud.

The 90 degree "impact craters" are likely a boil-like formation filled with gas.

As the bubble or "boil" emptied of its gas it collapses into the crater.

These boiling surfaces then cooled and solidified.

Many of the craters do not seem to show ejecta, and the bottoms are generally flat, with a deposit, or protrusion at approx center of the crater.

These could be popped bubbles.
