About this work
ISS017-E-020538 (21 Oct. 2008) --- Arkenu Craters 1 and 2 in Libya are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 17 crewmember on the International Space Station. Geologists often study features on Earth, such as impact craters, to gain insight into processes that occur on other planets. On Earth, more than 150 impact craters have been identified on the continents, but only a few of these are classified as double impact craters.
