Crater face
Often, no trace remains of meteorite and asteroid impacts because the strike was at sea or the crater has eroded away. In fact, only around 120 impact craters have been identified.
You can see thousands of impact scars on the face of our Moon, which has no water or weathering to erase the damage.
