The Distribution of Antipodal Ejecta from the Tycho Impact: Observations and Models
Abstract
Our results show that all major observable global effects of the Tycho impact can be understood as a consequence of the ballistic emplacement of Tycho ejecta. Our results for the Tycho impact on the Moon may be relevant to better understanding the environmental effects of major terrestrial impacts such as the the Chicxulub impact at the K/T boundary.
