From the BBC:

Quote:
The puzzle of why the northern and southern hemispheres of Mars look so different may now have been solved.

Mars' crust is thicker in the southern hemisphere, and magnetic anomalies are found in the south but not the north.

New studies in Nature magazine suggest that a massive space rock smashing into the planet could have created an abrupt disparity between the two halves.

Interesting stuff Patrick.
I use to be quite into astronomy & space exploration, even had my own telescope when I was a youngster!

Cool. :) I actually have a telescope, but it's in a box.
