Description:
Article Studying craters on atmosphere-less bodies can unlock information about planetesimal histories. Here, Marchi et al . present results from the NASA Dawn mission to Ceres showing that craters 〉100–150 km in size are largely absent, and find that Ceres’ internal evolution is responsible for their absence.
