What Are the Biggest Craters in the Kerbol System?

- The Kerbol system has some notable big impacts that we are going to investigate. Which crater is the biggest and how big was the impactor that created it?
Clarification:
The reason why the estimated sizes for Laythe seem to be so big is because I assumed relatively low velocities that objects seem to have in the Kerbol system. This results in a much lower kinetic energy (E = 1/2 mv^2) and thus it requires bigger objects to create certain impacts. I think that the equation ceases to be useful at a certain point and I would say that point is right here, but it was fun to give it a go anyways.

So glad Curious is covering the craters in KSP! There's just something unusually fascinating about them :D
I agree with your closing thoughts. An impact with a body of the larger sizes for Laythe would definitely obliterate the moon.
I don’t think it would obliterate the moon, but would definitely make the entire moon’s surface covered in lava, and wouldn’t even leave a crater behind because it would resurface laythe.
Nice video, great job! Once I noticed that large crater on Kerbin, I started looking for other suspisciously circular features on, Kerbin and elsewhere. ISTR finding one candidate that was larger, on Kerbin, by looking for isolated more or less circular clumps of mountains, as such things can be caused by rebound in the centre of a crater. I can't recall what causes some craters to appear to have one rim inside another, I'll look it up.
there is an extremely circular feature in the artic of kerbin where you will find a ufo crashed into the floor there are youtube videos about it but it is a little known object I suppose the governmental powers of the kerbal union is trying to prevent its discorvery
Great job taking that picture of the moon at 3:31 very impressive detail
Very interesting video! I first saw you in your live playing KSP2. I think you channel will really grow. Keep going.
is it possible to calculate the geological activity / size or magnitude of quakes that caused the canyons on vall and dres?
also, a good method to get a solid range readout on relatively small objects would be to have 2 craft be in eachothers range while set as target, so it displays the distance to the other one while in craft view, down to meters
That moon photo looks sick, great work, I've always wondered about the craters, especially kerbin's
I love this!
Largest mountains next?
Great video here buddy. I am sure ik 2-5 Years ypu will have in between 500k and 1mil subs
Why Eve without its clouds looks better than Eve with the clouds...
Eve use to have no clouds
It doesn't
Love your KSP content, you gained a sub!
You could just go ingame and plant flags from center of Kerbin crater to the outer edge and look that the distance the game shows
I love how kerbin, mun, and laythe where autocorrected it’s so funny
+1 sub
thats some deep ksp lore
You gave a few of the chapters a really weird planet name
Oh lol thx for mentioning it, I think I accidentally turned on automatic chapters... my bad
ayo mate, the picture of the moon that you took is awesome :D! How did you took it? Cause i have a telescope and my pictures usually dont have so much quality.
Stable tripod, be able focus well and you need quite a bit of zoom. The picture I took was at 2000mm or so
the bangers never stop :DD
also i love bop now
kervin man and lace.
There's a lot of info missing from that formula...not knowing the material makeup, size, speed and mass of the object impacting makes it nearly impossible to calculate energy at impact
Well, that is why the results I show vary so much (minimum, mean, maximum): for things like the density I used a wide range of possible densities. Same goes for the velocity etc.
So yes, it is difficult to give an *exact* value, but we can certainly give a range of values that we know are required.
You got it completely wrong, the Kerbin crater can’t be 190km since 600 km is not the diameter, but the RADIUS!
Which means that the diameter of Kerbin is 190Km. The crater would then be around 30km!
I dont understand what you are saying. Especially that last part.
But what I know: the crater is about 15° - 17° wide. 360° is about 2piR (2 x 3,14 x 600 = 3768 km). So 17 x 3768 / 360 ≈ 180 km.
I dont know what I would be doing wrong here.
@@curious_ksp_Sorry, my mistake, the diameter of Kerbin IS 1200 Km, I thought 600 was it’s radius.
No worries, but you had me worried for a bit haha
never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.
I’m gonna guess the impacts where caused by your mother
the laythe crater happened because my grandma ate too much KFC
@@AbsolutelyNotKirrim the toxic atmosphere of EVE developed after too much beans and spaghetti lathered in olive oil
when new vid?
